Under Long Chen's torture and interrogation, Tianxing finally revealed a secret from years ago—a secret that very few even among the gods knew about.
Back then, the Dragon family of the Divine Clan produced a peerless genius. At eighteen, he attained the Tongming Realm, at twenty he merged with the heavens, and for the next three years, he gave up cultivation speed, traveled the surrounding worlds of the Tianwu Continent, comprehended the Heavenly Dao, and created nine unprecedented magical and divine abilities.
Looking across Tianwu, only the Great Emperor can match him, hailed as the one with aptitude closest to the Great Emperor. Even peers of the same generation pale in comparison to him.
At that time, the Tianwu Continent was still in a special period, with young Upper Realm experts arriving to train, and one of the previous generation women was Luo Ningshuang.
During the next trial, she was attracted to Long Zhantian, and the two fell in love and quickly got together.
Another woman stayed behind—she was Long Aotian's mother.
Originally, after the previous disciples traveled, they would return to the previous generation, but Luo Ningshuang preferred to stay in the next generation rather than go back.
It is said that this incident later caused quite a stir, but Luo Ningshuang refused to return. The previous powerhouse couldn't come down, and it seems something happened later, but Tianxing remains unknown.
In the end, Luo Ningshuang stayed. Two years later, Long Aotian's mother gave birth to him, whose talent was astonishing, shaking the entire Divine Clan.
But after a year, Long Chen's birth completely stunned the divine race. Strange spiritual roots, divine spirit bones, supreme blood—these were innate immortal seedlings, not mortals.
It was said that even in the previous session, she was one in ten thousand with supreme talent. At this moment, Long Aotian's mother devised a sinister scheme to seize Long Chen's spiritual blood, spiritual root, and spiritual bone, and transfer them to Long Aotian.
Tianxing is a perverted and specializes in conducting extremely cruel experiments, which led to him being sought after by Long Aotian's mother.
At that time, Long Aotian was already one year old. According to Tian Xing, it was the best time for transplantation, but he didn't dare to do it at all.
But Long Aotian's mother secretly brought Long Chen here for him and forced him to act, threatening to kill him if he didn't, and said that no matter what happened, she would take responsibility.
As a result, Long Chen fell victim. Afterwards, Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang flew into a rage and killed countless powerful figures, trying to reclaim their son. In the end, the Divine Clan suffered heavy casualties and was severely weakened, but Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang were still captured.
It turned out that after doing this, Long Aotian's mother directly confessed her actions to the Divine Clan leaders, which enraged them immensely.
However, when Long Aotian's mother revealed her identity, the high-ranking members of the Divine Clan fell silent.
When Long Aotian's mother revealed her identity, Tianxing was not eligible to participate at the time, but later it was revealed that the reason she acted so fearlessly was because of her own background.
Another thing is, what's done is done—Long Chen's spiritual blood, root, and bone have already been taken away, and returning them is useless. Moreover, Long Aotian's mother said Long Chen was already dead.
The Divine Clan was furious, but what's done is done—it couldn't be undone. They couldn't kill Long Aotian and pay for Long Chen's life.
They also couldn't let Zhantian kill Long Aotian's mother and bring disaster to the Divine Clan. The Divine Clan's higher-ups, with no other choice, could only persuade Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang to hold off and devise a countermeasure.
But with their son taken away, how could Long Zhantian and his wife possibly listen to advice? The gods had no choice but to find a way to suppress them, but this suppression led to a great disaster.
Long Zhantian went berserk, his combat power overwhelming. Despite their combined efforts, they were still slaughtered until rivers of blood flowed. With the power of the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Fusion, Long Zhantian slew the Holy Lord in succession. That battle depleted the divine clan's countless years of accumulated combat power, leaving less than one in ten remaining.
In the end, Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang were suppressed. To the gods' surprise, when Luo Ningshuang saw Long Aotian's mother, she suddenly recognized her—they were actually mortal enemies.
Luo Ningshuang's identity was also revealed. Once revealed, it was no big deal—the Divine Clan was utterly stunned. Luo Ningshuang was the daughter of the Immortal King of the Upper Realm, who escaped after falling out with her family.
After Luo Ningshuang's identity was revealed, the Divine Clan's leadership was furious. Long Aotian's mother was extremely vicious, even using the Divine Clan to target Luo Ningshuang, causing panic among the Divine Clan.
Long Aotian's mother had a powerful background, so they couldn't afford to offend her, and Luo Ningshuang had an Immortal King backing her, so she couldn't afford to offend her either.
The Divine Clan, with no other choice, discussed for a long time and finally decided to send Luo Ningshuang and Long Zhantian to the previous session, letting them handle it at their discretion. They dared not make any judgments.
Thus, the last two spots on the Tianwu Continent that qualified for the previous session were used up by Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang. As a result, Long Aotian's mother could only remain here.
From then on, the passage between the Upper Realm and the Tianwu Continent completely disappeared, so no one knew how the Divine Clan would deal with Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang.
As for Long Aotian and his son, they have been living carefree and happy times these past years. Because the divine clan's vitality has been severely weakened, their future can only rely on Long Aotian, this peerless prodigy.
The Divine Clan's leaders gritted their teeth in hatred whenever they thought of this incident. If it weren't for this, the Divine Clan wouldn't have had to put on a show anymore and could have claimed all the spoils for themselves.
So this matter is taboo for the entire Divine Clan. Anyone who knows about it is a true high-ranking official. Those who know some inside information but have their status forcibly erased from their memories, which is a disgrace to the Divine Clan.
So only a few members of the Divine Clan knew about that incident back then, but it was a taboo topic that most people dared not mention.
Hearing this, Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief, his palms drenched in sweat. What he feared most was hearing that his parents were no longer around.
His father was a prodigy, at the ninth level of the Fusion Heaven Realm, capable of killing a Holy Lord. And this wasn't his father's fault at all. The chances of the Divine Clan dealing with him were very low, at least they wouldn't have killed such a powerful genius.
As for his mother, with a powerful background, the gods definitely wouldn't dare deal with her on their own and could only send her back.
Although he knew their lives were safe, Long Chen still felt anxious. They were in the upper realm, not even knowing if their own child was alive or dead. Every day would be tormented, and after all these years, who knows how much they would be tormented.
Long Chen repeatedly questioned the Divine Clan about several more questions, including the core of the Star Domain. However, Tian Xing didn't know much about this matter; he only knew that the Divine Clan and other forces were merely cooperative partners. As for who could get the Core of the Star Domain, it depended on their ability—there was no such thing as splitting the shares equally.
"Let me ask you, how do you use your jade token?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
"Why are you asking this... "Ah..." Tianxing screamed miserably and quickly explained how to use Long Chen's jade pendant.
"Alright, you can kill me now." The Heavenly Punishment Path.
"You actually want to scheme against me? You're really asking for death. I wanted to give you a quick fix, but I didn't expect you to come up with all sorts of tricks to get yourself killed.
If I kill you, your soul jade stick will shatter. When that happens, the entire Divine Clan will know something happened here. Do you think I'm as foolish as you? Long
Chen sneered coldly, reaching out and tossing Tianxing's primordial spirit to Lei Ling'er. Lei Ling'er immediately understood, swallowed his primordial spirit in one gulp, and sealed it within her body. That way, even if Tianxing was tormented at any moment, she wouldn't escape.
"Let's go, I'll take you out." The Eastern Wilderness Zhongdao had originally found this place through the cracks of three small worlds, and there was more than one exit here.
"No, I want to fight my way out from here. This is the only place where we can enter the ancestral land of the Divine Clan." Long Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with coldness.
