Chapter 1099
He was definitely doomed . Just condensing the embryonic form of his original runes took three hundred yuan spirit stones .
His realm had only just stabilized, and he couldn’t even count as having reached the first Heavenstage of Foundation Forging . That required condensing his original runes nine times and stacking them against each other before advancing .
Stabilizing one’s realm after breaking through was the easiest part of that realm, and the one that required the least energy . To advance to the first Heavenstage would require several times the energy .
Just that would be nothing, but then he would have to advance to the second Heavenstage, and so on and so on . All this required more and more energy .
Long Chen didn’t dare to imagine how many yuan spirit stones he would need to advance all the way to the twelfth Heavenstage .
Having obtained one billion yuan spirit stones in the Immemorial Path, he had thought that he would be able to advance without worry in the Foundation Forging realm . In fact, he had thought he would have so many leftover yuan spirit stones that he would be able to exchange them for even more resources .
Now he wasn’t at all confident that one billion yuan spirit stones would be enough for him to reach the peak of Foundation Forging .
A rune appeared in Long Chen’s palm . This was his original rune . It was circular, with tiny little ripples inside it . It seemed like a pearl packed with specks of dust, yet also like a cosmos filled with endless stars .
The rune unleashed a gentle light that wasn’t at all berserk . And yet, it caused the s.p.a.ce around it to twist, as if the world around it was water . It contained an indescribable rhythm .
“Is this my original rune, or my core rune? Will I be able to use divine abilities through it? Why can’t I sense anything at all?” Long Chen stared blankly at this rune .
Closing his eyes, he tried to sense it . This rune seemed to be in a strange state of slumber, and he was unable to form a resonance with it .
“Although it’s in a dormant state, it’s able to supply me with endless energy, and each one of them is absorbing the outside world’s energy to nourish itself . Now I don’t just have to rely entirely on my four qi seas for energy . ”
That was what made Long Chen the most excited . Now, he not only had four qi seas of energy, but he also had 108,000 acupuncture points full of energy .
Putting away his original rune, Long Chen smiled . With these 108,000 acupuncture points, he was filled with confidence .
Leaving his seclusion, he saw that the majority of the Dragonblood Legion was no longer on Crouching Dragon Mountain . After asking around, he heard that they had all gone to the Xuantian Tower in order to comprehend the Xuantian Catalog .
The Xuantian Catalog was normally only opened to Foundation Forging disciples . They only had one chance, and whether or not they could grasp it was up to themselves .
However, because the amount of s.p.a.ce was limited, many people had to line up, and so a portion of the Dragonblood Legion remained at home .
Having just advanced to Foundation Forging and consolidated their realm, they needed some time to adapt to their newfound power . It wasn’t advisable to immediately start fighting, so they were quite bored now .
Tang Wan-er was gone to comprehend the Xuantian Catalog . Rank five Celestials didn’t need to line up, so Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Guo Ran had also gone over .
In the tribulation, Guo Ran had lost half his life, but he was an unkillable c.o.c.kroach . Through some incredible dogs.h.i.+t luck, he had condensed a special original rune .
Through the Forging Pavilion Master’s inspection, he learned it was a very rare forging divine rune . In other words, he had truly gained the qualifications to eventually grow into a forging G.o.d capable of forging divine items .
Hearing that, Guo Ran’s tail had immediately stuck up high into the sky . He had just been about to start showing it off when the Forging Pavilion Master tossed him into the Xuantian Catalog . He pointed out which line referred to the Forging Dao and had him comprehend it . It was much more direct than when Long Chen had randomly picked a bunch of lines .
The other disciples had the same treatment . The Elders would point out which line they should comprehend based on their specific talent .
Long Chen had also just consolidated his realm, so he temporarily had some time . He took Meng Qi for a stroll through Treasure Gem Island .
On the way, countless people were toppled over by Meng Qi’s beauty . But then seeing Long Chen, they hastily looked away .
“Long Chen, your infamy in the Xuantian Dao Sect has reached the point that many people are afraid of you . ” Meng Qi couldn’t help but feel that it was funny as she watched those disciples immediately flee and hide upon seeing Long Chen . She held his hand as they walked .
In the Xuantian Dao Sect, for a man and woman to hold hands as they walked was a very unbridled kind of conduct . That was because the Xuantian Dao Sect did not permit dual cultivation . That was part of the Dao-principles of the Xuantian Dao Sect .
If a pair were to marry, then their status as disciples would be revoked, and their monthly rations would disappear, making them commoners . Normally, only disciples who had reached the end of their cultivation and had no hope of ever advancing again would marry in the Xuantian Dao Sect and start creating heirs .
Experts in the Xuantian Dao Sect could have countless followers, and there could be some shady relations.h.i.+ps, but there definitely wouldn’t be anyone who dared to walk so openly while declaring their relations.h.i.+p .
But Long Chen didn’t care about that . He knew that while Meng Qi was bashful, she also thirsted to be taken care of . This conduct was a kind of proof of his feelings for her .
“That’s because they’re guilty inside . If they didn’t once curse me, then they definitely once slandered me behind my back . Or they’re just jealous . Otherwise, they wouldn’t look at me with such terror,” said Long Chen .
