In just two months, Long Chen refined hundreds of giant pills, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary pills.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, and the others had no time to cultivate during this period. All their soul power was lent to Long Chen for pill refining, day and night, never stopping.
The pills they had previously refined had been almost completely consumed by the Dragon Blood Legion and the Mohist disciples. If they didn't refine the pills they needed soon, they would have to stop making them.
However, after Long Chen left, they no longer needed to work so hard to refine pills. One batch of pills was enough to absorb the entire Dragon Blood Legion for a day.
From now on, besides refining pills, they could also cultivate slowly, especially Tang Wan'er, who didn't even have time to refine the divine bones, so improving while refining the divine bones was twice as effective with half the effort.
While Meng Qi and the others were focused on refining pills, Long Chen joined the Dragon Blood Legion and infiltrated the Yin-Yang Realm. However, this time he did not reveal his identity, instead sneaking in secretly.
When he arrived at the valley from years ago, he found the giant egg had disappeared. Long Chen had killed a vampire leader, and from his memories, Long Chen captured a scene.
On a massive altar sat a giant egg—the very one Xiaoxue was parasitizing. Countless bloodclan experts surrounded it, seemingly nourishing it with the power of their bloodlines.
However, Long Chen only got this useful footage, but he figured Xiaoxue should be fine, because those people were kneeling on the ground, showing utmost respect to the giant egg—only awe, no malice.
With this, Long Chen felt at ease. After quietly leaving the Yin-Yang Realm, he discussed with Mo Nian and the others, letting them continue their troubles.
Anyway, with Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and others refining pills, their pills would be sent to them endlessly. They relied on pills for cultivation while slowing down the progress of the major factions.
Now, time is extremely important for the Tianwu Continent. As long as they can hold back the emperor-proclaimed steps of Mo Luo Tianxing, Blood Fiend Demon Lord, Ye Ming, and Nine-Headed Lion, they will have more opportunities.
Mo Nian reassured Long Chen that now that they had four divine artifacts in hand, they had no problem protecting themselves, and they wouldn't be greedy or reckless, putting themselves in danger.
He usually relies on pills for cultivation, but when the time is right, he travels around various places, and it seems the major powers have already resigned themselves to fate.
As long as they didn't break deep and let them disrupt the world, they would never fight Mo Nian head-on again. That would be a loss, so it was better for everyone to slow down their cultivation. In the end, the forces from beyond the domain still held an absolute advantage, so there was no need to get entangled with Mo Nian and the others.
When Long Chen asked about Yun Tian, no one knew where he went; it seemed he had disappeared.
Hu Feng had informed him in advance that he would be in seclusion, and the inheritance of the Gambling Heavenly Dao was different from others—he needed to remain in quiet seclusion. When the final battle came, he would reappear.
Yun Tian was like a divine dragon whose head was elusive, unsure whether he was in seclusion or what he was doing—very mysterious.
After learning this, Long Chen gave Mo Nian a few instructions, then went to the Wine God Palace to meet the High Priest.
The high priest still wore a calm and natural demeanor, drinking leisurely in the courtyard, looking content, seemingly unconcerned about this catastrophic disaster.
"The High Priest is very refined." Long Chen saw the High Priest and couldn't help but exclaim with envy.
The High Priest shook his head and said, "Elegant interest?" No, this is obsession, just being so absorbed that you can't extricate yourself. Come sit down. "
The High Priest gestured for Long Chen to sit. After expressing his thanks, Long Chen slowly sat down opposite the High Priest.
The High Priest took out a small jar of wine, poured Long Chen a cup, and gently pushed it in front of him, saying, "
Your cultivation hasn't improved at all. It seems you must have something more important to do."
Long Chen took the cup and drank it all in one go, instantly feeling refreshed and at ease. The power of the Heavenly Dao circulated within his chest, and a sip of wine seemed to contain all the Dao of heaven and earth, stirring a sudden awakening that made him eager to cultivate immediately.
After exclaiming, Long Chen said, "Yes, I've been busy refining pills lately, so I haven't made any progress. But as the saying goes, sharpening the blade doesn't delay the cutting of the wood—that's no big deal."
Now I have come to ask the High Priest Senior Elder. Do you know any secrets about the Eastern Wilderness Bell? I am preparing to find the bell but have no leads. "
Long Chen felt a bit frustrated. Recently, he had taken out fragments of the Eastern Wilderness Bell and tried every method to activate it, but he still couldn't activate it, let alone sense its whereabouts.
Long Chen also sought advice from the Central Plains Cauldron and the Western Desert Axe, but they had no solution because they could not sense the location of the Eastern Wilderness Bell.
This stumped Long Chen. Unable to find the Eastern Wilderness Bell, he still felt uneasy. Beneath the Tianwu Sea Ring lay the terrifying Ling Tian Bracelet. Although the Sea Demon clan had been almost wiped out, the Ling Tian Bracelet remained a major threat to the Tianwu Continent.
Moreover, the Central State Cauldron had said that the Ling Tian Bracelet was still recovering. Even if the four of them joined forces, they might not be able to destroy it. Even if they did, their vitality would be severely weakened and they would no longer be able to withstand the upcoming dark war.
Without them, Tianwu Continent would have no divine weapons to defend against domain artifacts, which would only make things worse. Helpless, Long Chen came to the High Priest to ask if he had any news.
The High Priest took a light sip of wine, slowly set down his cup, and looked at Long Chen, saying, "I don't know much about the Tianwu Continent, especially about the Five Supreme Artifacts—I know very little."
The reason I'm doing my best to help you is because of the Wine God's decree—the Wine God has issued a decree, ordering our Wine God Palace to help you with all its might. "
Then, Lord Dionysus, can you help us?" Long Chen's heart raced wildly. If a deity was willing to help, then he wouldn't fear anything.
The High Priest shook his head and said, "You may not understand yet. The gods are not in a parallel space with us; they cannot descend into our world at higher levels."
This world can only be left and not returned—in other words, one can only ascend, not descend.
Lowering the decree requires enormous consumption, because with the Wall of Sighs blocking the way, if a god wants to descend to the mortal world, it must either shatter the mortal world or be suppressed by the wall.
The Tianwu Continent is the core of the star region. When a divine decree is issued, it is extremely difficult. If it is forced, the chance of success will not exceed ten percent, and ninety percent will be destroyed by the Wall of Sighs. "
The Wall of Sighs?" Will gods be destroyed too? That's impossible, right? Long Chen clicked his tongue in amazement.
"The Wall of Sighs comes and goes without return, isolating the past. Of thousands of divine senses transmitted, perhaps only one or two can pass through the Wall of Sighs.
The transmitted divine sense is extremely weak; only the statue of faith can receive it. This is the divine decree. We can receive the divine decree, but we cannot transmit the information to the deity.
Of course, the gods are also different and have varying strengths. Some gods might be stronger, such as the Great Brahma Heaven and Luotian Night of the Dan Valley.
So, when it comes to Yu Qingxuan from Dan Valley, you must be extremely careful. She might have the ability to summon a divine spirit to possess her, so you must be on guard. The High Priest's expression suddenly grew serious; he felt a deep sense of apprehension toward Yu Qingxuan.
