Long Chen had heard this aged voice many times before, but he didn't know who it was.
However, unlike before, this voice seemed weaker, as if it was lacking in energy.
"You're hurt?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
"Injured?" You could say so. Every time I contact you, I have to put in a lot of effort.
When you were still weak, I needed to spend more time to deliver messages to you.
And as you grow stronger, I will have to put in even more effort to block the Heavenly Dao's monitoring and communicate with you.
Long Chen, you did an excellent job—you broke a Star-Viewing Sky Mirror, allowing tens of millions of Nine Star successors to escape surveillance, allowing more of them to survive. "The aged voice said, its tone full of admiration.
"A meeting?" You mean that there is more than one star-gazing mirror between heaven and earth? Long Chen asked.
"Yes, the Star-Gazing Heavenly Mirror doesn't have just one, but nine faces. You destroyed one of them." The aged voice said.
"What about the other eight sides?" Long Chen said.
"The remaining eight sides are in the hands of the eight great divine banners of the Great Brahma Heaven." The voice said.
"The Eight Divine Banners?"
Long Chen's heart tightened. Ye Wusheng had mentioned the Eight Great Divine Banners. Empuda was so powerful, yet he wasn't qualified to become one of them. In other words, these eight were stronger than Enpuda.
"In short, the road ahead is long and arduous. You are the great successor of the Nine Stars. I hope ..."
Suddenly, the voice of a Dragon Clan expert rang out: "You don't need to hope. Long Chen has his own path to walk."
Do not use the shackles of the Nine Star successors to trap him; all matters in the world, all laws and paths, can reach the heavens.
Long Chen has the right to choose his own cultivation method, so you don't need to worry. The
voice of the Dragon Clan expert was cold and unrefined. The aged voice was silent for a moment before saying,
"That's true. Everyone should have the right to choose, and their choices should follow their own hearts."
The aged voice showed no anger, as if agreeing with the dragon clan expert's words.
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. A dragon clan expert and that mysterious old man were actually conversing in his dark world. What kind of beings were these two?
Long Chen could tell that the mysterious old man was trying to remind him that as the successor of the Nine Stars, he should focus on the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique.
During this period, Long Chen had been cultivating the Dragon God Body Refining Technique. The Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique had made no progress, and even his realm hadn't advanced. It seemed like he was abandoning the technique, so the old man wanted to remind Long Chen.
However, this made the dragon clan powerhouse unhappy. Long Chen's Dragon God Body Refining Technique was one of its proudest ultimate skills, and inheriting it from Long Chen was its greatest wish. So, it didn't like to hear the old man's words.
Fortunately, the two did not argue because of this. The dragon clan expert said coldly,
"You should continue doing your own work and pay more attention to the other Nine-Star heirs. Long Chen is here with me; you don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you very much."
After the old man finished speaking, he fell silent.
"Senior, who exactly is that person?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"He is the guide of the Nine Star successors, responsible for awakening you and leading you to quickly awaken the Nine Star Path.
However, unlike all Nine Star successors, starting from the fifth star, you have already strayed from the cultivation path of the nine stars.
Your future path requires your own creativity; blindly listening to it won't bring you any benefit.
Besides, it can barely protect itself now. Contacting you so frequently could easily expose you and put you in danger. The dragon clan expert said.
"Senior, who exactly is the Nether Emperor?" Long Chen asked.
The dragon clan expert pondered for a moment, seemingly hesitant, then said, "The Nether Emperor is already dead, still in Nirvana, just like the Ghost Emperor, slain by someone." "
Could it be ...?" Long Chen nearly jumped up.
"That's right, it was the Lord of the Nine Stars who slain him. Like the Ghost Emperor, he is an immortal being, so even though his body was shattered and his primordial spirit destroyed, he still wasn't completely dead.
The so-called daughter of the Nether Emperor, like the Ghost Emperor mark on your body, is like a seed.
When these seeds grow to a certain size, they can be recycled. Because that girl possessed the Jiuli bloodline, she was captured by the Heavenly Dao and was planted with the Hell Flower at birth.
Originally, the Hell Flower would only bloom when she ascended to King of the Realm, attracting the escort of the Hell Envoy.
However, this time someone intervened and used sacrifice to open the Gates of Hell. The aura of hell triggered the blooming of the Hell Flower, which attracted the Hell Envoys.
I originally thought I would have to step in this time, but unexpectedly, you solved it yourself. Moreover, you sealed the Hellflower with the Purgatory Eye and learned a new divine ability.
I originally planned to seal the Gate of Hell, but later I hesitated. Sometimes helping you ends up hurting you. You should face everything yourself."
So, even though you used that ancient cauldron, I didn't stop you. Your future path is already a complete blur, and I'm starting to lose sight of things. So, it's up to you to walk your own path. The dragon clan expert said.
Long Chen was facing death, so naturally it wouldn't stand idly by. But when Long Chen sealed the Hellflower with his eye technique, at that moment, it decided not to help Long Chen and let him handle it himself.
"Senior, what exactly is the origin of that ancient cauldron?" Long Chen asked.
"I don't need to say that. The news will spread quickly, and you'll find out soon too." The dragon clan expert did not answer directly.
The dragon clan expert fell silent, and Long Chen fell into a deep sleep in the darkness. When Long Chen opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a pair of tear-reddened eyes.
"Long Chen..."
Seeing Long Chen awake, Yu Qingxuan was overjoyed and wept, her tears rolling down like pearls with broken strings.
"No wonder people say women are made of water. You're crying so thin, stop crying. I'm fine, but your crying will make my heart ache."
I said before, I don't want you to be sad. If you do, I'll feel incompetent. Long
Chen reached out and stroked Yu Qingxuan's pretty face, his eyes full of guilt. He was truly incompetent and had made Yu Qingxuan suffer so much.
"I won't cry, I won't cry. I'll smile for you. You're the strongest, even the Underworld Emperor can stand against you. No one in the world dares call you incompetent."
Yu Qingxuan quickly wiped the tears from her face and revealed a smiling face. Although she was smiling, she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. Her obedient appearance made people feel sorry for her.
Long Chen opened his arms and hugged Yu Qingxuan tightly, whispering softly in her ear:
"Qingxuan, trust me."I will never let anyone hurt you. "
Held in Long Chen's arms, her nose was filled with his masculine aura. The warm embrace was her safe haven, and nowhere felt safer than this place. Yu Qingxuan nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Cough, cough...
Just then, a dry cough suddenly rang out, startling Yu Qingxuan into quickly escaping Long Chen's embrace.
Then Long Chen saw Yu Xiaoyun, Jiang Huixin, and Xu Lanxin walk in. The scene just now happened to be caught by them, and for a moment, everyone's faces showed embarrassment.
