“Long Chen, we’ve managed to get news of Chu Yao!” Long Chen was in the midst of eating his ‘food’ as fast as possible when Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er came flying into his room .

Long Chen spat out the pills accidentally . Then he hastily stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed .

“Are you serious?!”

“Hehe, it’s true . The Huayun Sect’s people sent this over . Open it!” Tang Wan-er pushed a jade case into Long Chen’s hands .

Long Chen’s hands trembled . Despite having faced armies of thousands of powerful enemies, he had never been this nervous before .

He slowly opened the jade case . Inside, there was a verdant leaf that looked almost crystalline . It emitted boundless life energy .

The entire room became filled with life energy . The potted plants Meng Qi had placed in Long Chen’s room all began to rapidly grow as they overflowed with vitality .

“The Dragon swims across the four oceans; the Phoenix flies throughout the nine lands . Seas of blood may block us, but we will never give up our path; Dragon and Phoenix will both live to old age . ”

These four lines were on the leaf . This was the promise the two of them had made to each other during the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival .

The first two lines were what Chu Yao had summoned the courage to say to express her life for Long Chen while she was stuck in an inescapable cage .

The last two lines were what Long Chen had sworn in front of all the experts of the capital . Although they contained some of the frivolity of youth, the two of them truly loved each other . Seeing these words, Long Chen’s tears almost overflowed .

These words were not written on the leaf . Instead, they were the result of the natural vein lines on the leaf . In other words, they had formed when this leaf was born . Although Long Chen didn’t know how Chu Yao had managed to do this, just from this small leaf, he could feel how much Chu Yao missed him and her heartfelt feelings .

For him, Chu Yao had sacrificed far too much . She had gone all alone into the Central Plains, a foreign world . She had done this despite how much she yearned to be with him .

All the case held was this leaf . There was no letter . But Long Chen could already understand Chu Yao’s heart . The emotions between them had reached the point that they couldn’t be described with words .

Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er were both aware of his past with Chu Yao . They exchanged a look, both feeling pity .

They had been with Long Chen this entire time . Although it had been dangerous and they had gone through countless battles, they were able to fight alongside Long Chen . They were much more fortunate than Chu Yao .

“I wonder how big sister Chu Yao is lately . Why hasn’t she come to see us?” asked Tang Wan-er .

“Chu Yao should be in a very critical period and can’t come . Otherwise, she’d definitely come and find us . Don’t worry, the current Chu Yao is stronger than any of us . ” Long Chen gently stroked the leaf with a faint smile . He sensed many things from this leaf .

“Stronger than any one of us? Is she stronger than you?” asked Tang Wan-er with disbelief .

“At the very least, she’s stronger than the current me . ” Long Chen nodded .

This leaf contained a familiar aura . That was an aura he had felt from Pill Valley’s Pill Fairy, as well as the Illusory Music Immortal Palace’s Zi Yan . At the same time, he thought of four dislikeable figures that had appeared in the Immemorial Path . When Yue Xiaoqian was about to pa.s.s her tribulation, those four idiots had almost caused her to be killed by her tribulation .

In his fury, Long Chen had provoked the Heavenly Daos and brought down heavenly punishment . That had ruined those four’s tribulations and scared them off .

“Could it be that those four are also existences on that level?” wondered Long Chen .

He felt boundless life energy from this leaf, as well as boundless Heavenly Dao energy . Although it was just a single leaf, it seemed to represent the will of the heavens . Its existence broke all the laws around it .

“Meng Qi, Wan-er, your cultivation bases have pretty much stabilized . You should refine the rank nine Heavenly Dao Fruits . As for the remaining three, hand them to Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and Li Qi . Guo Ran doesn’t have the time . ” Long Chen handed five rank nine Heavenly Dao Fruits to them .

Four of them had come from Pill Valley’s Qu Dajiang, Dan Yanxue, Kan Dongze, and Jiang Zijun . Although they had been killed by the Alldevil monster and not him personally, as long as someone died around Long Chen, their Heavenly Dao energy would be absorbed by the primal chaos s.p.a.ce and condensed into a Heavenly Dao Fruit .

The fifth fruit came from the ancient family alliance’s Luo Minghao . He also wasn’t killed by Long Chen, but by Meng Qi .

That idiot had been so incredibly unbridled that he had completely infuriated Meng Qi . He had spoken so many profanities and insulted Long Chen so much that she hadn’t hesitated at all .

Wilde was sleeping, while Yue Zifeng had been brought away by Ling Yunzi to the Heavenly Sword Gate . But of course, those two had special cultivation paths and didn’t need the Heavenly Dao Fruit .
