Chapter 25 – The Blood Essence InheritanceTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA

After a while, Lingxi suddenly felt tired, and simply sat on the [Seal of the Dragons]. Her eyes shifted back and forth as she thought of a method to break the barrier.

“Xiao Xi, how is it?” Long Chen asked eagerly.

An hour had already pa.s.sed since the time Lingxi had started studying the barrier. Long Chen was also rather anxious; after all, the secret in this [Seal of the Dragons] was connected to what Long Qinglan had entrusted to him, and was the key to him becoming a Dragon Warrior.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you interrupted my thoughts!”

Lingxi stared at him, but she was not really angry.

“It’s fine, you can rest for a while. Seeing you tired, I, your Elder Brother, feel sorry for you. Oh right, why don’t you tell me more about this barrier. These last few days you have been mentioning it, but you’ve never told me anything.”

Seeing Long Chen’s face which was filled with curiosity, Lingxi waited for the moment she could show off, and then smugly said: “This barrier is a kind of unique application of Qi. Someone like you, who only knows how to fight, wouldn’t know about the intricate details of setting up a formation method. The formation of a barrier is like embroidery, so for me, finding the key is like finding the loose end of the thread. I then need to return on the path where the formation was originally set up, one step at a time. However, breaking the barrier is much more difficult than embroidery, since finding the key is extremely difficult. If you make any mistake, you would have to start over again.

Only then did Long Chen understand how it worked. However, Lingxi, who had been muddle-headed all this time, already knew this. This made him look at her differently.

Looking at Long Chen’s shocked expression, Lingxi could tell what he was really thinking, and momentarily pouted in anger.

“You had better not look down on me. I’ve said it already; although I, Lingxi, may not be that hard-working at cultivation, but I am a super expert in regard to barrier formation. And in this area of expertise, I am much better than my father, as well as all my other peers.”

Long Chen believed that deep down, but he put on an air of nonchalance and said: “Really? Then why is the barrier not undone yet?”

Lingxi suddenly felt pressured and said: “Do you think this is like eating rice? Besides, this broken thing’s barrier is rather ancient, I have not heard of it before, much less had experience breaking it before. So I need a little more time. Just wait another hour, I guarantee I will have something to show you!”

After being looked down on by Long Chen, Lingxi had become anxious, and immediately became engrossed in her work. Long Chen secretly laughed at her from a side: “This girl is so easy to trick; in the future I must definitely not let her slip away. With her around, if I encounter any treasures that have barriers next time, won’t she be able to unlock them easily for me?”

Under Lingxi’s effort, after half an hour, Long Chen felt a mysterious, yet faint formation of light slowly emerge from the upper part of the [Seal of the Dragons].

Lingxi was busy working on the light formation conscientiously. What made Long Chen surprised was that there was actually a threatening and ancient layer of aura, which was gradually being emitted out from the light formation. It even brought about a smell that reeked of blood.

This mix of aura started getting bigger and bigger, and Long Chen felt his heartbeat speed up greatly. That ancient and detached feeling gave him an urge to fall to his knees. As for that aura that was reeking of blood, it had also turned his eyes bloodshot.

Although there were no opponents in here, the murderous aura on his body started to increase.

Long Chen was extremely flabbergasted; it was just a faint amount of aura but the secrets in this [Seal of the Dragons] could actually affect his bearing. In addition, this was an item which Long Qinglan had deemed as important; with Long Qinglan’s mysterious ident.i.ty, how could something he had regarded as important be simple?

“Long Chen, you must be careful, almost there now……”

Lingxi’s voice sounded out distantly. Hearing her voice, Long Chen became more clear-headed. However, the aura from the light formation had become more and more dense, and that smell of blood had gradually permeated the whole cave.

Long Chen’s eyes had also gradually turned redder, and many illusions started to appear in his field of vision. He tightly clenched his fists together, causing his veins to pop out. His whole body started to quiver. It could be seen that he was trying extremely hard to stay in control.

As for Lingxi who had reached the crucial moment, she was devoting all her attention and moved on to the final step, so she definitely could not see Long Chen’s abnormality.

“What exactly is the secret of the [Seal of the Dragons]……Why do I have such an uncontrollable feeling right now……But my father will definitely not harm me…… I, Long Chen, must definitely endure it, and not be hypnotised.”

Thinking of his father, Long Chen suddenly had some faith. That ancient and blood stenched aura coming from the light formation was continuously rushing forth to his body. But Long Chen bit his lips tightly, to the point of bleeding. Because this pain was making him a little more clear-headed.

“Get ready now, it’s about to be undone. I too don’t know what will happen……”

“Faintly, Lingxi’s voice had once again travelled over, but at this time the ancient and blood stenched aura had gradually turned the air inside the cave into a reddish colour.

Suddenly, with a ding sound, the light formation in front of Lingxi had turned into dust. Lingxi seemingly was exhausted so she returned back into the Lingxi sword, the cave only had Long Chen and that unique [Seal of the Dragons] scroll.

Under Long Chen’s startled vision, the [Seal of the Dragons] scroll which was originally of sheepskin paper, had at this instant started to be covered by a blood red colour, until it completely changed colours.

At this point, that detached and b.l.o.o.d.y aura had slowly condensed to the extreme point, and under this aura, Long Chen’s face turned pale and his whole body started violently shaking.

This aura, had only inexplicably concentrated on one point inside the cave. Within the Big Desolate Mountain, it was still quiet throughout.

“Long…… Long Chen, what exactly is this? I……I am scared, it’s as if I will be eaten anytime……”

Lingxi’s quivering voice had rang beside his ears.

At this point Long Chen was very nervous too, but his only belief was that his father would definitely not harm him.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Thinking of his father, no matter how dangerous of a situation he was in, had made Long Chen be filled with fighting spirit.

“Come! I don’t care what kind of thing you are!”

As if hearing Long Chen’s words, at this point a mysterious map started to come out of the [Seal of the Dragons] scroll.

Long Chen only vaguely saw an image of a divine dragon from the ancient legends!

[Wings of Erya] Cloud: It causes the growth of the Dragon Warrior’s scales. The Sovereign’s Mark is exhibited by 9 particular appearances: Its head is like a bull’s, its horns are like a deer’s, its eyes are like a prawn’s, its ears are like an elephant’s, its neck is like a snake’s, its abdomen is also like a snake’s, its scales are like a fish’s, its claws are like a phoenix’s, and its palm is like a tiger’s. Their backs have 81 scales, a product of 9 by 9 in a Yang configuration, and have the voice of a reverberating copper plate. They have whiskers at the side of their mouths, a jewel under the chin, and a reverse scale below their throats. They have a crest on their head, also known as Metre Wood. A dragon without a metre wood is unable to ascend to the heavens. Their breaths form clouds which can transform into both water and fire.
