Chapter 1765: Long Chen’s Sword Dao

Long Chen’s words were completely different from what they had always been taught . Although they were somewhat against cla.s.sical conventions, they contained philosophical theories that opened a new world to them .

All of this was based on his own experiences . He had come to understand them through his own circ.u.mstances, and he was sharing them without hesitation .

Even some of the old Elders were nodding inside . Although Long Chen was still young, he had managed to create a whole new path and understood so many principles .

Thinking about Long Chen’s special course in life, they knew that his current accomplishments were not the result of happenstance . Long Chen truly had the ability to reach his current height .

Furthermore, to be able to share these understandings with people without hesitation required courage that few people possessed .

So even those Elders that had felt his words to be wrong in the beginning were starting to have their opinions subtly s.h.i.+ft .

“Long Chen, senior apprentice-brother, what is the Dao?” asked the next disciple .

Hearing this question, Long Chen chortled .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, is this question of mine really laughable?” asked the bewildered disciple .

“No, no . This question of yours just makes me think of a funny thing from the past,” said Long Chen .

“What funny thing? Can you tell us?” That young maiden that had kissed Long Chen shouted from the crowd .

“Yes, we want to know too . We’re very curious about everything about you!” More maidens spoke up, emboldened by the first .

Long Chen smiled . After hesitating, he told the story from when he was in the Eastern Wasteland . In the Immortal Intoxication Pavilion, he, Mo Nian, Zi Yan, Yu Tong, and others had discussed what was the King Dao, what was the Hegemon Dao, and what was the Humane Dao .

Long Chen told them his answers to these questions, and countless disciples held their sides from laughing so hard .

“What is the King Dao?”

“To directly smash pompous people . ”

“What is the Hegemon Dao?”

“To smash those who aren’t pompous together with them . ”

“What is the Humane Dao?”

“To give a warning before you smash them . ”

The disciples and even the Elders laughed at this exchange . They hadn’t expected that this figure that could strike fear in the hearts of both the Righteous path and the Corrupt path, this existence that gave Pill Valley, the ancient races, and the Xuan Beasts a giant headache, also had such a funny side .

However, while everyone else was laughing, Long Chen didn’t . Instead, he seemed a bit sad .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, rumor is that you and fairy Zi Yan seemed to have… a relations.h.i.+p . Why have the two of you ended up in your current state?” asked a woman curiously .

As soon as she said this, she felt countless glares from others . This question was clearly inappropriate .

Long Chen and Zi Yan were both peerless figures . They had met all the way back in the Eastern Wasteland . Then they had run into each other by chance in the Grand Xia Ancient Nation . One was an unrivaled hero, and the other was a nation-toppling beauty . Rumors had long since started about the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them .

However, in the Dragon Slaughtering Convention, the two of them had ended up fighting . Although Long Chen had defeated Zi Yan, he hadn’t killed her but had said heart-breaking words at the end . Everyone could see that the two of them had true feelings for each other .

Nevertheless, Long Chen had slain Shen Bijun and had caused chaos for the Illusive Music Immortal Palace . As for Zi Yan, she was heir to the Illusive Music Immortal Palace . How could the two of them end up together?

That woman had definitely thought of all that, causing her to ask Long Chen this question . However, this question was clearly picking at one of Long Chen’s scabs .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked . ” The woman immediately apologized .

Long Chen forced a smile . “It’s fine . Zi Yan and I might be enemies, but she is someone I respect . Even if I were to die to her hands one day, I would not hate her . There might be no way around the future, but all I want is to have a clear conscience in the end . ”
