Chapter 580: The Long Patriarch (1/2)
”BANG!”
”BANG!”
”BANG!”
.
..
...
Panic could be heard in the endless knocking of an ancient door.
The barely discernible sounds which shouted the word ”Patriarch” over and over again were quite grating to the ears of the only occupant of this most sacred place of the Long Clan.
”Why are these kids bothering me again?”
”Did i not tell them that i am in a closed door cultivation?” An old man muttered inside the confines of this grand sanctum.
This was the Patriarch of the Long Clan and he was tenaciously cultivating in here for the last 30 years. A True Qi Realm cultivator could live up to 100 years.
The next was the Spirit Realm which had a longevity of 200 years. After that was the Foundation Realm which had a lifespan of 500 years.
This old man was already more than 400 years old and the call towards the coffin's rest was close and coming for him.
This was the reason why he tried his hardest to break into the Gold Core Realm. One should know that this old man was already in the last and final stage of Foundation Realm.
He was already at the 10th Stage of Foundation Realm.
Sadly, this breakthrough to the Gold Core Realm was quite hard to reach especially when his children were always there to disturb him like tonight's unexpected affair.
”I hope that this better be something important or else...” The old man uttered in a bad mood. He stood up from his lotus position and granted access to his troublesome descendants.
”Patriarch! The clan is under attack!”
”Some demon child is here to challenge you!”
”We have tried our hardest to stop him but failed in the end.”
”Please punish your useless descendants, Patriarch!” A handsome man in luxurious robes immediately kneeled in place.
This one was the most gifted son of the Long Clan which has a cultivation base of 10th Stage Spirit Realm but same as all the elders combined, he was met with disaster in the hands of our very own protagonist.
This handsome man could not even take 1 move. That was how fast his defeat went. In the end, he was left with minor burns and no clothes to cover his body.
After that shameful experience, this handsome man immediately arrived here in haste. The Patriarch was their only chance in surviving this tribulation.
”Tell me everything! Start from the beginning!”
”Don't skip one single detail, Long Hua.” The Patriarch ordered in a harsh voice and the handsome man named Long Hua.
”We were just having a marriage celebration and then...” Long Hua narrated the events that led to this night. He took two dozen minutes to finish his tale.
This left the Patriarch in silence as he thought of the likely reason why this mysterious force just wanted to test him from amongst all the experts of Navi City.
In the end, the old man decided to see his visitor tonight. He was a true cultivator and had risen up through countless corpses and the rivers of blood of his enemies.
This old man was definitely not a coward.
”WHOOSSH!” The wind howled and in one breath alone, the old man's figure was already gone in the scene.
When he materialized into another place, he was already within sight of our very own protagonist. There were two of them. One male and one female.
Both were very young and the old man would even dare say malnourished. Nevertheless, he never put such a trivial exterior with great importance.
”Good evening, dear guests.”
”I am Long Aotian. The Patriarch and Founder of Navi City's Long Family.” The Patriarch cupped his fist towards his visitors.
The girl looked at Long Aotian with curiosity but the young man continued to gaze at the many pictures of art in this meeting hall.
These priceless masterpieces were works by Long Aotian's own hand. When he was younger, he loved to draw pictures of people and nature.
”A good gallery.” Clark praised and he finally turned to gaze at his original target.
