"Sorry to have worried you."
Seeing Mengqi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, and the other women staying by his side, each with red eyes and haggard faces, Long Chen felt a pang of sympathy.
"It's nothing, as long as you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" Meng Qi shook her head, channeling her soul power into Long Chen's body to examine him again.
Previously, Long Chen's soul power and spiritual essence had been in a state of utter emptiness. Last time, when he killed the Dragon Maiden, he was completely borrowing from heaven.
Moreover, Long Chen was not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, which was not borrowing at all, but forcibly taking it, with a Heavenly Dao curse attached to his body.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao curse could not invade Long Chen's body and was slowly worn away by his power.
When the power of the Heavenly Dao curse was completely erased, Long Chen's body began to revive. However, just awakened, Long Chen was still extremely weak, and his spiritual energy and soul power were slowly recovering.
"I'm fine. That move of mine was an Emperor's technique, so the side effects aren't significant." Long Chen said with a smile.
"This time is too dangerous. You need to rest well. Also, check your health to see if there are any hidden injuries. You can't be careless." Mengqi said with some concern.
During this tribulation, Long Chen fought fiercely continuously, suffering countless injuries and bleeding, especially fiercely fighting the Great Emperor, which was especially brutal and terrifying to watch.
Long Chen smiled and said, "It's fine. The emperors have painstakingly fought me fiercely, but in reality, they are teaching me their life insights and martial arts skills. They won't really harm me." "
"Then you must have learned a lot of Great Emperor techniques?" Tang Wan'er said with both surprise and delight, her eyes shining and her pretty face full of excitement.
Long Chen reached out and affectionately pinched Tang Wan'er's little nose, smiling, "You don't need to get any ideas about the Emperor's secret technique." "
Why?" Tang Wan'er said, looking disappointed.
Long Chen said seriously, "The Emperor's technique was all created by them, tailor-made for themselves, and unique—no one else can cultivate it."
The Fifth Generation Emperor has instilled so much experience in me. The only thing I can use right now is borrowing the Heavenly Method, and that's only after I have improved it myself. At
first, Long Chen held onto Tang Wan'er's idea, but later realized he couldn't use these spells at all, and no one else could learn them—they were completely useless.
It can be said that each of the Five Dynasties emperors pioneered an era, breaking free from constraints within the framework of martial arts and forging their own path.
And this path is only for themselves; others don't even have the ability to imitate. Forcing oneself is a dead end.
Long Chen finally understood why the Five Dynasties emperors had no legacy to pass down—their success was beyond imitation.
However, the emperors inventing their own martial arts greatly inspired Long Chen. Likewise, his World-Destroying Fire Lotus was also his own creation, and this technique also could not find a successor to pass it on.
If this move were recorded on paper and left for future generations to cultivate, who knows how many would die from it. So passing it down is not a merit, but rather a form of killing and destruction. This is why the Great Emperor's technique disappears from the world.
"That's such a pity. I thought the five Great Emperors would leave your legacy to you. If you inherit the Five Emperors' divine arts, even if you don't become emperor, you can still rival the Blood Fiend Demon Lord and others who became emperors." Tang Wan'er sighed.
"Can the Blood Fiend Demon Lord and the others attain the emperor's status?" What's going on? "Long Chen was startled.
Seeing Long Chen ask, Meng Qi recounted to Long Chen what the Blood Fiend Demon Lord and others had said after Long Chen fell unconscious that day.
After listening, Long Chen's expression grew serious: "I didn't expect that they are all Tianxuan beings from a world, destined to ascend to Emperor."
However, because the Tianwu Continent is the core of the star region and the fortune grades differ, their repeated invasions have failed.
It wasn't that they didn't have enough people, but that they had no match for the Emperor of the Tianwu Continent. "
Long Chen, you don't need to overthink it. Even if they attain the emperor status, we still have the strength to compete. After all, the Tianwu Continent is full of experts, with seniors like the High Priest, Tianyu Zhenren, and Lord Le Si around. The Tianwu Continent is our main battlefield, and our chances of victory are still very high." Meng Qi was worried that Long Chen would be under too much pressure and unable to focus on cultivating, so she comforted him gently.
"That's right, you still have us. We'll protect you. Now that you're awake, I'm going to refine the divine bone. When I give birth to a spiritual bone, spiritual blood, spiritual root, and spiritual bone will unite. I'll help you take down that bastard Long Aotian." Tang Wan'er clenched her little fists and said bitterly.
As for Long Aotian, the women wished they could tear him to pieces and grind him to dust. Their family was truly vicious.
"From now on, I'll have to ask Boss Wan'er to look after me." Seeing Tang Wan'er's confident expression, Long Chen nodded seriously, his words causing the women to burst into laughter.
Long Chen had just woken up, his complexion still pale. Meng Qi gave a signal, and all the women left the room, telling Long Chen to rest well.
After the women left, Long Chen unfolded his internal vision to confirm once more. Aside from being a bit weak, he was in no particular condition. He couldn't help but marvel—the Great Emperor was simply divine—such a heaven-seizing creation technique, yet he could create it himself. It was incredibly powerful, far stronger and more terrifying than those so-called divine arts.
No wonder back then, when Long Chen asked Emperor Yunshang whether he was stronger or the gods, Emperor Yunshang only smiled slightly and did not answer. But deep in his eyes, he clearly looked down on the so-called gods.
After this battle with the Great Emperor, Long Chen fully understood how unattainable the Great Emperor was. Long Chen was confident in his combat power but still fell far short—so far away it was almost despairing.
During the tribulation, the emperors showed mercy; if he had gone all out, he would have been shattered long ago.
"The Great Emperor has revealed everything he has learned in his lifetime to me—there must be some deeper meaning.
They know full well that I cannot cultivate, yet still teach me. What are they trying to tell me? "
The Great Emperor is wise; everything he does must have a deeper meaning. He would never waste his efforts. However, all the ultimate techniques of the five Great Emperors, every move are terrifying masterpieces. To fully study them requires countless hours and effort."
By the time Long Chen finally understood these divine arts, several hundred years had passed. By then, the Tianwu Continent had long since fallen. In other words, the Great Emperor taught Long Chen not for cultivation or improvement.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll think about it later. First, let's see if there's a pill recipe for awakening the seventh star this time.
If I awaken the seventh-star pill recipe and condense the seventh star, when the seven stars converge, even without becoming an emperor, I am confident I can sweep them away. Long
Chen closed his eyes, and it took a full incense stick to burn before he opened them. His expression darkened; he hadn't seen the Seventh-Star pill recipe.
"Without a pill recipe, does that mean I haven't yet crossed the threshold of the seventh star in cultivation?" Long Chen became somewhat surprised and uncertain.
Long Chen searched again but couldn't find the seventh-star pill recipe. Suddenly, he discovered a recipe and jumped up instantly.
"Fusion Heaven Pill"
