Chapter 1179: 1179

“Yes, I killed him . That brat really knew how to be a poser . Ah, brother Xia, do you not quite know what that word means?” asked Long Chen . It would be normal for a refined prince to not know such cra.s.s language .

“Haha, brother Long, are you looking down on me? When I reached the Xiantian realm, I was tossed out into the cultivation world to live on my own for two years . I’m not a greenhouse flower like you imagine . Let me tell you, I almost died three times in one year . No one was there to look after me . The last time was especially dangerous . I accidentally ended up entering one of the Corrupt path’s strongholds and was attacked by countless experts . I had no support, but just by using my Xiantian realm cultivation base, I killed my way out of the Corrupt experts . I slew over a thousand Sea Expansion experts and countless Xiantian experts . In the end, I put everything on the line in order to kill three Foundation Forging experts .

“After those two years, I returned to the Grand Xia . My imperial father looked through my tempering stone, which recorded my experiences over those two years, and arranged for me to apprentice myself to my current master . He is my master, as well as my Dao-Protector . He is the person I respect the most in my life, even more than my father . ” A respectful and wors.h.i.+pful expression appeared on Xia Yunchong’s face when he spoke of his master .

“Your Dao-Protector? Could it be that brother Xia… you walk… the Undefeatable Dao?” asked Long Chen with shock . He had heard that only people who walked the Undefeatable Dao had Dao-Protectors .

“Why are you so surprised? Don’t you also cultivate the same Dao?” Now it was Xia Yunchong’s turn to be surprised .

“Me? How could I walk the Undefeatable Dao? I just blindly muddled my way to my current level . ” Long Chen bitterly smiled . He had heard that those who walked the Undefeatable Dao could never suffer a defeat in their life . Once they were defeated, their Dao-heart would crumble, and they would be completely crippled .

That was why those who walked the Undefeatable Dao had to have a supreme expert as a Dao-Protector . The Dao-Protector’s duty was to prevent powerful enemies from forcing a battle with the genius walking the Undefeatable Dao .

“How could that be possible? When you fought the elder from the Bloodkill Hall, the will that burst out of you was clearly an undefeatable will . This kind of pressure is identical to my own . I definitely can’t be wrong . ” Xia Yunchong couldn’t believe it .

“Ah, let’s not fight over this problem . Let’s keep drinking . ” Long Chen filled Xia Yunchong’s cup .

“Brother Long, do you really not walk the Undefeatable Dao? You’ve been defeated before?” Xia Yunchong pressed him, wanting to figure out what was going on .

“Not only have I been defeated before, but I’ve also been beaten so many times I can’t even keep track . There was even one expert a whole level stronger than me who once chased me down through the mountains like I was a dog . Tch, let’s not talk about this . It’s embarra.s.sing . ” Long Chen raised his cup .

Xia Yunchong looked at Long Chen . He felt like Long Chen had no reason to lie to him . But he himself walked the Undefeatable Dao, and that undefeatable will that came from the depths of Long Chen’s bones and even the depths of his soul was something Xia Yunchong couldn’t be wrong about .

The two of them continued drinking . Seeing that Xia Yunchong was still troubled over this question, Long Chen laughed and decided to tell him about this past . He told him all about his cultivation journey . Other than some private secrets like the primal chaos bead, he didn’t hold back .

Xia Yunchong learned about how miserable Long Chen’s youth had been, how he had been humiliated and bullied . When he was fifteen, he had still only been at the third Heavenstage of Qi Condensation . In just a few years, he had grown to his current level . Xia Yunchong was full of admiration .

“So you really don’t walk the Undefeatable Dao . But within your endless trials, the more the world tries to obstruct you, the fiercer you become . Perhaps this is another kind of Undefeatable Dao . Come, let me raise a cup to you in admiration . I, Xia Yunchong, have never admitted inferiority to anyone, but I admire your will which refuses to bend even in the face of countless setbacks,” praised Xia Yunchong .

Xia Yunchong had always treated his two years in the wilds fighting on the brink of life and death as the greatest pride of his life .

But when he compared it to Long Chen’s history, he felt embarra.s.sed just to mention it . There was no way to compare them . From the struggles in the Phoenix Cry Empire, his rise in the Jiuli secret realm, his dominance over the Eastern Wastelands, and his various difficulties since reaching the Central Plains, he had experienced countless dangers, and each of those dangers had been like dancing on the tip of a blade .

Long Chen had fought his way from being a poor n.o.ble son within the secular world to his current height . Everything he had, had been fought for with his life on the line . As for Xia Yunchong, although he had also put his life on the line, the majority of what he had was from having a powerful backer like the Grand Xia .

So Xia Yunchong truly admired Long Chen . The two of them only grew friendlier as they drank, and in the end, they became close friends who could say anything to each other .

“Brother Long, you said the reason you came here is because you have friends in my Grand Xia? Do you need me to look after them?” asked Xia Yunchong .

Long Chen hesitated . “I don’t think that’s a good idea . These friends of mine are a bit special . ”

In truth, if Xia Yunchong could support the original devil race, then they would instantly soar to new heights . But that was far too dangerous .

If the original devil race was one day exposed, then the Grand Xia would become the world’s enemy . It might even be destroyed . Long Chen might be willing to do stupid things, but he wouldn’t do such an immoral thing .

“Brother Xia, to tell you the truth, the reason I came here was because I was forced . I provoked a disaster this time, and I came here to avoid it . Will I end up causing you trouble?” asked Long Chen .

“What trouble? I’ve long since wanted to properly put the Grand Han’s egomaniacs in their place . I’ve just never had a chance . As for the ancient races, although they are powerful, the ancient race alliance is not necessarily all like-minded . You only offended one race, so there’s nothing to fear there . As for the Pill Tower, we have no relations with them due to their dispute with the Wine G.o.d Palace . Even without the Pill Tower’s support, we can still cooperate with the Huayun Sect . Furthermore, we have the Wine G.o.d Palace’s support, so there’s no need to care about them .
