Chapter 1679: Giving Face But Not Receiving Face

A month later, Long Chen finally came out of seclusion. During this month, he had eaten medicinal pills like they were food. It went without saying that the Swallow the Heavens, Devour the Earth divine ability that Evilmoon had taught him was truly terrifying and worthy of being one of the strongest abilities of the dark evil dragon race. Long Chen’s cultivation base had risen to the fourth Heavenstage of Soul Transformation.

The Soul Transformation realm focused on the Yuan Spirit. At the same time as his Yuan Spirit grew stronger, so did his spiritual yuan. It was a kind of pa.s.sive elevation, but considering that he had four qi seas, he had gained far more spiritual yuan than others.

The thing that delighted Long Chen the most though wasn’t his cultivation base. It was that he had finally managed to merge the power of Star Fall with the World Annihilation Flame Lotus.

However, the failure of the merger was too high, with only a thirty percent chance of success. He was still groping about for how to do it, but the general progression was going in a good direction. All he needed was more time to experiment. After all, to create a perfect magical art required numerous revisions.

This one month of seclusion gave Long Chen immense confidence. He finally felt like he had the power to back himself up again.

During this one month, he had elevated practically every part of his a.r.s.enal. His cultivation base had risen to the fourth Heavenstage, he had developed his World Annihilation Flame Lotus, and Huo Long almost finished absorbing the power of the Black Illusion Dragon Flame.

After absorbing the power of the Black Illusion Dragon Flame, Huo Long finally attained a level of power capable of refining the giant Divine Flame Crystals from the Heaven Dragon Flame Region. Other than the one he had used in the Spirit World as bait, he hadn’t managed to use any of them up.

Huo Long’s power hadn’t been high enough to refine them, but now, its power had risen to the point that it could. Once it finished absorbing Divine Flame Crystals’ energy, it would be even more terrifying than the Black Illusion Dragon Flame.

As for Lei Long, its power had also risen and it had finished devouring the divine lightning. Although completely refining that energy would still take some time, it already possessed some of the power of divine lightning.

Finally, the old conner Evilmoon was no longer conning him. It had finished refining the purgatory evil dragon’s energy and was able to help Long Chen fight. Evilmoon even promised to carry him to the greatest heights.

In this one month, Long Chen had completely transformed. His combat power was completely different from when he had gone into seclusion.

“Boss, you’re finally out. Our Xuantian Dao Sect is being drowned by other people’s spit!” Long Chen had just come out when Guo Ran came running over angrily.

“What’s going on?” Long Chen was startled.

“f.u.c.k, it’s those idiots of Pill Valley, the ancient races, the ancient family alliance, and the Xuan Beasts. They’re as arrogant as ever! Even senior Qu Jianying is being pressured immensely by them. All of them are encouraging the experts of the Righteous path to impeach her,” said Guo Ran.

“It’s that serious? Let’s walk and talk.” Long Chen started walking while listening to Guo Ran’s explanation of what had been happening in the outside world.

When he heard that the Illusive Music Immortal Palace was acting like a good person, taking the initiative to offer to hold the Southern Xuan Region’s Devil Abyss while pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility onto him, Long Chen’s gaze turned cold.

He understood Zi Yan. She definitely wouldn’t do something so shameless. In other words, this had to be the decision of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace’s higher-ups. He hadn’t expected them to be so shameless.

He had had no enmity with Shen Bijun before she had hunted him down across regions. He knew this was definitely arranged by the Illusive Music Immortal Palace.

Now that Shen Bijun died, they put all her sins on his head. That made him disappointed in the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, as well as angry.

The Illusive Music Immortal Palace had pushed the responsibility onto Long Chen, and the ancient family alliance had capitalized on that. Under the banner of fighting for the innocent ancient family experts who had died to Long Chen, they demanded Long Chen be killed as vengeance for those disciples. Thus, they managed to point their spears at Long Chen while still standing on the moral high ground.

With the Illusive Music Immortal Palace leading the way and the ancient family alliance working hand in hand with them, Pill Valley, the ancient races, and the Xuan Beasts all came out, adding pressure on Qu Jianying.

“I don’t get it, the Pill Fairy saw everything! Considering her relations.h.i.+p with you, why doesn’t she say anything? If she just… ugh!”

“Guo Ran, you really are foolish. The Pill Fairy might be my friend, but Pill Valley wants to destroy me. If you were her, would you help me or her father?” Long Chen shook his head.

“I’d help you!” declared Guo Ran without hesitation.
