Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 994
Chapter 994: 994
“No Spirit Root, Spirit Blood from an unknown origin, and a Spirit Bone that has been excavated . However, he possesses such powerful Spiritual Strength, and is able to control an Earth Flame and tribulation lightning? Furthermore, his thunderforce has reached the high Heaven tier . It’s completely incomprehensible!”
Within one of the palaces of the Xuantian Dao Sect, a lean Elder carefully looked through the jade plate Mu Qingxuan had offered him .
There were over ten Elders present as well, all of them solemn . They were frowning, incapable of explaining this .
“Without a Spirit Root or a Dantian, it is still possible to nourish spiritual qi within the body’s three hundred and sixty acupuncture points . Once activated, it is possible for the acupuncture points to take the place of the Dantian to store spiritual yuan . However, this process requires an extremely powerful expert to spend countless time and attention on you to reforge your entire body . It seems that there’s no such existence within the Eastern Wasteland . Furthermore, even in this case, a person wouldn’t possess much cultivation talent or ability,” said one of them .
The first lean Elder asked, “Li Changfeng, you’re the only one to come into contact with this Long Chen . Do you have any opinion?”
Li Changfeng was the one who had gone to the Eastern Wasteland to handle Long Chen’s matter . In the end, he had been forced to capture Lu Minghan and bring him away .
“Reporting to Hall Master, your subordinate was incompetent and had no chance to talk much with him . But the Law Enforcement Hall…” said Li Changfeng .
This lean Elder was the Elder Hall’s leader and was called the Elder Hall Master . He shook his head and said, “This matter isn’t your fault . The past few years, the Law Enforcement Hall’s hands and legs have stretched further than ever, and they’re even starting to infringe on our Elder Hall’s matters . By directly capturing him and bringing him back, you’ve caused the Law Enforcement Hall to lose face, but that’s not a bad thing . There’s no need to blame yourself over that, so speak more about Long Chen . ”
Li Changfeng was silent for a moment before cautiously saying, “I investigated him . He comes from poor origins, and should have obtained some opportunity to suddenly soar like a shooting star . He is intelligent but decisively kills people and dares to cause trouble for himself . He treats death indifferently, but he treats the people by his side extremely well with absolute sincerity . He possesses a great deal of charisma .
“Looking at his past, he should have obtained many lucky opportunities and is hiding many secrets . That’s why Lu Minghan would still recklessly attack him . As a result, while Lu Minghan’s guard was down, Long Chen caused him to lose in their brief battle . Furthermore, in front of countless Eastern Wasteland disciples, he tried to forcibly suppress Long Chen . That caused a worrisome impact, and that’s why I had no choice but to capture him . ”
The Hall Master nodded . “Geniuses all possess karmic luck and are supported by the Heavenly Daos . But this Long Chen isn’t a Celestial . That’s strange . According to reason, we should give him special treatment and support him, but according to the sect’s rules, it seems that he hasn’t met the requirements . That puts us in a difficult spot . Although Long Chen hasn’t joined the Xuantian Dao Sect yet, if this decision of ours ends up impacting our disciple’s life, we’ll have committed a sin . ”
The Elder Hall was in charge of discovering and raising geniuses . They were the department with the greatest authority in the Xuantian Dao Sect, which was why all their Elders possessed both integrity and skill . They carefully and meticulously handled things .
Whether it was Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength, flame energy, or thunderforce, any of them was enough to let him become a special elite disciple that would receive exceptional care . But he had no Spirit Blood or Spirit Root, which wasn’t in accordance with the rules . He was like a skyscraper that had no foundation and might collapse at any time . The Spirit Root and Spirit Blood were the foundation for a cultivator .
“Do not intentionally make things easier on Long Chen, and do not intentionally make things hard on him . Let everything come naturally . This matter is restricted to just the people within this room and is not to be transmitted out . ”
An aged voice suddenly rang out in everyone’s ears . It was like a divine voice that penetrated to the core of their hearts, and everyone hastily jumped . Everyone, including the Hall Master, knelt on the ground .
“Understood, patriarch!”
After that, the voice didn’t say any more, and only then did everyone slowly rise . Mu Qingxuan was completely pale as that voice had deeply shaken her . In front of that voice, she felt herself to be wholly insignificant .
“I didn’t expect this matter to disturb the patriarch . Then let Long Chen go through the sect naturally . It seems the patriarch has long since sensed him and we don’t need to worry . Qingxuan, go back . Remember not to mention this to anyone,” said the hall master .
“Yes, disciple understands . ” Mu Qingxuan bowed and left .
Once she was gone, an Elder sighed, “Hall Master, this Long Chen has had conflicts with the Law Enforcement Hall . Shouldn’t we…?”
The Hall Master shook his head . “The patriarch’s orders have already arrived . There’s no need for us to be worried . We can just mind our own business . ”
…
The next day after the registration, all the disciples were gathered up once more . But Meng Qi and Yue Zifeng had also been taken away as they didn’t need to participate in this trial . They had their own special trial .
The only senior disciple present now was Mu Qingxuan . She announced, “The registration is over, so whether or not you can walk through the Xuantian Dao Sect’s gate is up to you .
“I’m sure you’re all clear on a few of the taboos within the trial, so I won’t waste too many words . All I’ll say is that this place is about three million miles from the Xuantian Dao Sect . The trial is to traverse these three million miles . ”
Three million miles? Everyone was startled by this immense distance .
Ignoring their shock, Mu Qingxuan continued, “It is forbidden to fly in this region, and there is a special formation present to ensure it . Other than jumping through the air, you won’t be able to do anything else . You’ll need to rely on your two feet, but don’t complain . The scenery is enchanting, like a painting filled with luscious hills, crystal clear water, and thriving fauna . It’s almost like a dream . Yes, that’s how my senior disciples explained it to me back then . Whether this description is apt is something you’ll personally experience .
“Alright, I won’t say any more . The trial for becoming an outer sect disciple starts now . Junior brothers, junior sisters, I wish you good luck . ”
Long Chen suddenly felt his body sink as if he had fallen into an abyss . The space around him completely changed, and he found himself by a mountain stream .
Mu Qingxuan had disappeared, and so had the surrounding people . Long Chen hastily looked around, only seeing a few isolated figures also apprising their surroundings .
It was clear they had all been transported within a formation . Although this place wasn’t the core of the Xuantian Dao Sect, just this outer region was treated importantly by the Dao Sect .
Everything that occurred within this region would be clearly seen by the sect . This was what it meant to have a foundation . This outer territory was practically boundless .
“There’s fish swimming in the water and birds flying in the sky . ” Long Chen yawned and stretched his waist, feeling refreshed . He felt the same as when he had first been joining the Xuantian Monastery . At that time, he had just been a Blood Condensation rookie . Now he had set foot on the playing field of heavenly geniuses, the Central Plains .
From one world, he had stepped into another . Today everything started again, but it was no longer the same . He felt an indescribable excitement .
He continued forward . After traveling a few dozen miles, he suddenly found that something was wrong . Forming hand seals, his Spiritual Strength erupted .
“Break!” Following his low shout, the scenery changed . He was no longer walked over verdant grass, but a small brook . The water was running past his feet .
“Tch, what a con . Break again!”
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength erupted again . He appeared in a desert with a fiery sun .
“How incessant . Break, break, break…”
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength erupted over and over . He had realized he was in an illusion formation, and this formation was extremely immoral . It actually had several layers, making it so people couldn’t tell illusion from reality . Just as Mu Qingxuan had said, it was like a dream .
If someone were to be lost in the illusion formation, they would just constantly roam around, never able to reach the Xuantian Dao Sect .
This formation’s greatest aspect was its ability to overlap reality and illusion . After walking a bit, the illusion might fade, and then after walking some more, it might reappear without you noticing .
“That fellow Gu Yang is probably doomed . Hopefully, his head is bright enough to light up the world so others can find him . Otherwise, he’ll just be monkeying around . ” Long Chen said a prayer for him . That spiritual idiot would definitely end up stuck here if he only relied on his own strength .
After traveling a bit more, Long Chen suddenly saw a man with a dagger inserted into his shoulder . He realized he was using pain to keep himself extricated from the illusions .
Once lost inside this illusion formation, a person’s senses would become slower, and pain would fade away . This fellow was quite smart . Once the pain faded, he would realize he was in an illusion .
Long Chen didn’t need to do so . Since he knew this was an illusion formation, he wouldn’t fall for it a second time .
Long Chen saw quite a few people roaming with their eyes closed, and he knew they had to be lost in formations .
“Damn, this is definitely a legendary pervert . ”
Long Chen suddenly saw a man standing motionless, a lecherous light in his eyes . His hands were outstretched, and at this moment, a woman with her eyes closed walked over, sending her soft parts right into his hands .
She let out a startled cry and instantly awoke from the illusion . That man also let out a startled cry, but somehow, that cry sounded incredibly perverted .
Acting like he had awoken from an illusion, the man hastily apologized profusely to the woman . If it hadn’t been for her startled cry, he might have been forever lost in the illusions .
The woman believed him . Completely red, she left . After seeing her walk away, the man deeply smelled his hands and made two groping motions with them, as if reliving that beautiful feeling .
“This is an option? As expected, there are all kinds of geniuses,” said Long Chen with praise . “Should I try it?”
Long Chen was somewhat enticed, but then glancing at the jade plate on his waist, he awoke from that fantasy . He solemnly continued on his way .
“Long Chen, I’ve finally found you . I’ve said that I’ll crush you like a dog!”
Suddenly, a shout rang out . Up in a tree, Han Yunshan coldly looked down on Long Chen .
