Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 699
Chapter 699
The scene before him changed . Long Chen found himself in an extremely ancient transportation formation . This formation was incredibly vast, covering an area of several miles .
Around the formation were four pillars that soared into the clouds . The pillars sparkled with countless runes, and a majestic aura came from them .
The formation had been built atop a large mountain . It was surrounded by ancient buildings which appeared to have been built eons ago .
“Who is it?”
Before Long Chen even had a chance to examine his surroundings, a cold shout rang out . Over ten white-robed disciples appeared .
These disciples were very young, but their cultivation bases had all reached the Xiantian realm . Each of their robes had a large immortal character embroidered on the front: Xuan .
Below that large Xuan character were two smaller characters written in the modern day style: law enforcement . They were the Xuantian Dao Sect’s law enforcers .
For ordinary law enforcers to have reached the Xiantian realm, the Xuantian Dao Sect was truly worthy of being an overlord of the Eastern Wasteland . This kind of foundation was truly shocking .
“I am Long Chen . I’m a disciple coming to attend the Xuantian Dao Sect’s martial gathering,” reported Long Chen .
“The registration has already passed . How are you so late? Where is your identity badge?” asked one law enforcer .
“Here . ”
Long Chen took out the new badge he had ‘requested’ from the monastery head . That person examined it closely, and only after seeing there were no problems did he return it .
“Follow this path down the mountain . After seventeen more mountains, there will be a small transportation formation that will take you to the core of the Xuantian Dao Sect . If you get lost, just ask around . ”
“Haha, many thanks . ”
Long Chen cupped his fists and rushed off according to that person’s directions .
The law enforcer watched as Long Chen left . He couldn’t help muttering, “The thirty-sixth monastery’s Long Chen? Why does this name sound so familiar?”
…
“Damnit, this Xuantian Dao Sect is way too big!” Long Chen had been rushing along for two hours only to reach the tenth mountain . He had long since passed the ten thousand mile mark .
It was a long time before he managed to reach the transportation formation . Using his identity badge, he stepped onto it .
The scene before him changed once more, and he found himself in a huge plaza . Seeing this new scene, Long Chen couldn’t help but curse . What was with this huge thing?
This one plaza was actually larger than the entire supermonastery . At the center of the plaza was an immense statue . It was the same as the one in the supermonastery, but it was much, much larger . It almost reached the clouds in the sky .
Azure bricks lined the plaza, with each having special runes carved into them . Even ordinary Xiantian experts would find it difficult to destroy one .
Looking at this huge plaza, he estimated that there were hundreds of millions of these special bricks .
People were coming and going within the plaza . These people were all young disciples wearing robes of the various supermonasteries . It was very lively .
Long Chen felt a feeling of unfamiliarity because he didn’t recognize a single one of these people .
“Look, who’s that?” Suddenly, a group of chatting women saw Long Chen .
“Why is he wearing different robes than us? How stylish . And look at his gaze…” said one woman . She wore her hair in a braid with a comb .
Only now did Long Chen notice that everyone present was wearing white disciple robes . There was a number on their shoulder which indicated which supermonastery they came from .
Long Chen had come too hastily, and he hadn’t worn his disciple robes . Well, even in the supermonastery, he had rarely ever worn those disciple robes . He usually just wore a set of black robes .
Now that everyone was wearing white and he was the only one wearing black, it was all too conspicuous . As soon as he appeared, he drew the surrounding people’s attention .
“What a cute little brother! Do you need help? Don’t be courteous, big sister is right here!” The closest female disciples were actually quite brazen and began to tease Long Chen .
Cute? Little brother? After he had grown up, Long Chen had never been called with such an intimate appellation . He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“Aiya, little brother, don’t be shy,” she laughed .
Long Chen was speechless . Looking at the number on their shoulders, he saw these women were from the twenty-eighth supermonastery .
“Big sisters, can you-”
Long Chen was just about to ask where the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s camp was when quite a few people began to gather together in the distance . It seemed something was happening .
“Ah, are the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s disciples being bullied again?” Those women sighed .
“Little brother, you were asking- eh, where did he go?” That woman turned back, only to see that Long Chen had vanished .
Long Chen passed through the crowd of people to see over ten people surrounding two Dragonblood warriors . Seeing those two warmed his heart .
At this time, their cultivation bases had reached the mid Xiantian realm . He smiled upon seeing that . Before going to the Pill Tower, Long Chen had warned everyone not to rapidly increase their cultivation bases . The point was to stabilize their realms . It seemed the assistance of the soul calming song was even greater than he had expected .
Although they had only reached the fourth Heavenstage, he saw that their foundations had reached a pinnacle . That would be the greatest help for them when they advanced to Sea Expansion .
As for himself, over these months, his cultivation base had mostly stagnated . He was only at the second Heavenstage .
Long Chen saw that the majority of the disciples present had all reached the mid Xiantian realm . Some had even reached the late Xiantian realm .
That made Long Chen sigh . He had been so busy that he hadn’t had time to raise his cultivation base . It appeared that he would have to focus on it a bit more .
“Don’t go too far! We’ve accommodated you so far, but that’s just because the monastery head told us not to cause trouble . It doesn’t mean we’re afraid of you,” said one of the Dragonblood warriors coldly .
When the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s disciples had arrived at the Xuantian Dao Sect, they had received quite a few provocations and insults from the other supermonasteries’ disciples .
Some of the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s disciples had refused to accept those insults, and they had directly attacked the insulters . As a result, quite a few of them had suffered .
When Shui Wuhen had heard this, she was completely enraged . She knew this had definitely been incited by the Zhou family . They had intentionally told the supermonasteries under their command to make it hard on the thirty-sixth supermonastery .
The four families were each in charge of nine supermonasteries . But because of Long Chen, she had turned hostile toward the vice sect master, which had brought on a great deal of displeasure from her family . They thought Shui Wuhen was becoming more and more impudent . She wasn’t taking the big picture into consideration, and she was too headstrong . They wanted to admonish her .
As a result, the Shui family’s supermonasteries all ignored the thirty-sixth supermonastery’s plight . They didn’t give them any help .
While the martial gathering hadn’t started, the Xuantian Dao Sect permitted disciples to exchange pointers with each other . As long as they didn’t intentionally kill others, they wouldn’t bother them .
Only when there was struggle was there motivation, and only when there was motivation could a person’s power explosively grow . This was a strategy of having the strong grow stronger . As for the weak, they either had to explosively grow in power, or be discarded . Practically every sect was like this .
Within a public place like the plaza, it was permitted for people to challenge anyone they wanted, even if the excuse was just that someone looked displeasing to them .
In order to keep her people from being bullied, Shui Wuhen had told everyone not to go out . But according to the Xuantian Dao Sect’s rules, each supermonastery had to send people to register for missions .
These missions were really just some random jobs . In truth, it was just a formality, but they still had to comply with it .
In order to not draw other people’s attention, these two had snuck their way here . But in the end, they had been blocked on their way back . That made them extremely furious . This was intolerable bullying .
“What cowards . Isn’t it just exchanging pointers? You don’t even have that courage . Did your mother give birth to you for you to be cowards?” sneered a man with a mole in the corner of his mouth .
The people behind him also let out disdainful snorts . Long Chen looked at them and saw that they came from the twenty-fifth supermonastery .
Long Chen didn’t say anything . He just stood in the crowd . He wanted to see what these two would do .
“Boss told us that exchanging pointers is just a nonsensical game . He doesn’t let us do that,” said one of the Dragonblood warriors .
“Boss? Hahaha, the grand Xuantian Supermonastery’s disciples actually use such a bumpkin appellation? Your boss is definitely a bumpkin,” laughed the man .
“Shut up! You’re the bumpkin! Our boss is Long Chen, an unrivaled genius!” The two of them were completely enraged now .
Seeing this, the man sneered, “What genius? He’s just a dead ghost . He even committed such shameful deeds that he was struck by divine punishment . Trash . ”
“You fucker!” The two Dragonblood warriors couldn’t hold back any longer . They charged at him . As for the man taunting them, he was startled . He was already used to them enduring everything .
As a result, one of their fists smashed right into his stomach, while another fist landed on his nose . A cracking sound rang out as he was sent flying .
“Bastards, how dare you use such a shameless sneak attack!? Attack!”
The disciples following the man with the mole all roared and charged forward . Since they hadn’t attacked in accordance with the rules, then they could also attack them as a group .
But saber-light flashed and blood flew . Those disciples hadn’t expected the two of them to actually take out their weapons, and they even used killing blows . They were terrified and hastily retreated .
There were only two people who had been struck by their blades . These people were elites, and they were sensitive to danger . But if they had been half a step slower, they would have been cut in two .
“Bastards, you want to kill people?! Subdue them!” shouted the man leading them while holding his nose . He shot his way forward, a sword appearing in his hand .
