Regardless of whether it was the essence blood of the Void Universe Dragon or not, it was definitely something very important. If not for the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Long Chen would have gone over long ago.
Of course, strength was also a factor. Long Chen was currently the strongest among the younger generation of the three thousand palaces. Basically, no cultivator who had just entered the eighth layer of the Divine Martial Realm was a match for him. Even someone at Lu Jin's level would not be able to predict the outcome of a fight.
After the First Supreme Elder made the announcement, everyone in the Hidden Dragon Platform cheered. Many people were sincerely happy for Long Chen.
"Go back and wait for the news first. I will report today's matter, the situation of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and the situation of some good seedlings to the Martial God Palace. There should be news in about a month.
"Entering the Martial God Palace is a path that every genius must take. So, there is no need to be nervous."
When the First Supreme Elder was truly amiable, he was actually a very amiable person. Compared to the Second Supreme Elder in the three thousand palaces, his position was much higher.
At this moment, the Second Supreme Elder and the others had very unsightly expressions. The Lu Clan's people did not dare to come.
After the commotion, the crowd dispersed. Originally, Long Chen had become a famous person after becoming the champion. He should have exchanged greetings with many people, or at least received some compliments. However, Long Chen did not. He led a group of people from the Evil Dragon Palace back to the Evil Dragon Palace. If there was to be a celebration, it was for his own people. As for the others, he did not care about them.
That night, the Evil Dragon Palace and the Scarlet Firmament Hall celebrated together in the Evil Dragon Palace. There were lanterns and colored banners everywhere, celebrating Long Chen obtaining the first rank of the Hidden Dragon Ranking and entering the Martial God Palace for sure. He might even be accepted as a disciple by the upper echelons.
This was a glory that the Evil Dragon Palace had never dared to imagine.
Of course, to Long Chen, this was all within his expectations. However, he felt a sense of accomplishment to make so many people happy. Today, the Evil Dragon Palace was only in its embryonic form. When his wings grew stronger, he believed that the Evil Dragon Palace would undergo a great change.
Every single one of them was a terrifying character.
When it was almost daybreak, Long Chen discussed things with Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie. In fact, he had already decided to find these two to tell them his decision.
The three of them stayed in Han Yun Xing's God Kingdom. Shuang Chi could tell that Long Chen had something to say.
"Little Chen, just say it. What are your plans for the future?" Nangong Lie chuckled.
Long Chen's performance in the past few days had really given them a lot of face. Even until today, they still felt very refreshed in their hearts.
Long Chen replied in a sullen voice, "I have some urgent matters to attend to. I would like to leave the Martial Emperor Palace for some time. If I return late, will I still be able to enter the Martial God Palace?"
Long Chen estimated that if he went to the Martial God Palace, he would definitely face many problems after he entered. At that time, it would not be easy to go to the Nine-Star Primal Chaos City without any worries. Furthermore, waiting for a month or so was not a solution. Hence, he wanted to depart early.
"Urgent matters."
Han Yun Xing and Nangong Lie looked at each other. They knew that Long Chen was a person with a sense of propriety. If he said something, he would definitely have thought it through.
Even in their eyes, Long Chen had a lot of secrets. However, they did not have much curiosity to find out. This was because they knew that as long as they protected Long Chen, that would be enough.
Han Yun Xing said, "If it is really urgent, there is no problem. You can just report to the Martial God Palace later. However, your performance was quite outstanding. The upper echelons will probably look for you. At that time, if you are not around, we will have to explain. However, since it is really urgent, the two of us will try our best to delay it for a year."
Nangong Lie smiled and said, "Don't worry. With us bringing you, there will be no problem."
However, Long Chen said, "A year? That should be enough. However, this time, I want to go out and train myself."
Han Yun Xing was actually very smart. He seemed to have guessed it long ago. At this moment, he shook his head and smiled, "Yes, Xiao Chen is much stronger than before. During this period of time, with us around, he can be arrogant and despotic. However, this is not his character. Perhaps our presence will be a little hindrance to him. If you want to go out and explore yourself, I naturally have no objections."
Nangong Lie was different from what he thought. He frowned and said, "It can't be. If something happens to him …"
Long Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Nangong, you still don't believe me?"
"That's not it. It's just that the outside world is far more dangerous than the Emperor's Palace. With us looking after the Emperor's Palace, it will be better," Nangong Lie said.
Han Yun Xing said, "Xiao Chen has always been like this. A ferocious tiger must be placed in the forest. Furthermore, Xiao Chen is not as simple as a ferocious tiger. It's decided. If you want to go out, we will stay in the Emperor's Palace and help you delay it for a while."
Han Yun Xing was easier to talk to.
"Where are you going?" Although Nangong Lie was usually burly, he was actually very meticulous.
"Nine Star Chaos City," Long Chen said.
Han Yun Xing and Nangong Lie looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As they had expected, it was not a good place.
"That's pretty much the most dangerous place in the Three Regions and Nine Worlds. Good and bad people mix together. Killing there is like eating a meal," Nangong Lie said helplessly.
"There's no need to say anything else. If you want to go, then go. However, I suggest you spend some time these few days to gather some information about Nine Star Chaos City. That way, you won't be confused when you get there."
Long Chen nodded. He had not thought of this problem. He said, "Alright, then we'll leave in three days."
Having made up his mind, Long Chen did not hesitate. He spent some time with the other Evil Dragon Palace members, especially with Jiang Cha. Then, he started to gather information about Nine Star Chaos City.
From the distribution of strength to the various historical events, he wanted to understand this place. At the same time, he wanted to see if there were any traces of the Void Universe Dragon.
… … …
Grey clouds hung low in the sky.
The night was very quiet. Many places were lively, but definitely not here.
In front of them was a huge waterfall. This was the largest waterfall on the Imperial Planet. The river gushed down from the high mountains, creating a deafening rumble. When the water hit the ground, it created a sky full of water and fire.
A beautiful girl with a pale face and disheveled clothes. Her eyes were dazed and her snow-white skin was faintly discernible. It was as if she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her. As she walked, she fell head first into the lake under the waterfall.
Water splashed up.
The girl seemed to have regained some consciousness, but it was only a tiny bit. After being confused for a moment, she quickly became confused again. Her entire body began to sink into the water until she disappeared without a trace.
… …
Three days later, Long Chen had gathered enough information to leave the Imperial Planet. This time, he left the Heavenspan Martial Dao Sect's headquarters alone.
The Nine Star Chaos City was located in the center of the Three Great Emperor Domains, in the middle of the Shattered Star Ocean. The distance between the Three Regions and Nine Realms was almost the same. If Long Chen wanted to go to the Sword Spirit Emperor Domain or the Desolate Emperor Domain, he could use the Nine Star Chaos City as a stepping stone.
In fact, the reason why Nine Star Primal Chaos City was so prosperous was because of its location. It was a large island in the middle of the Fragmentary Star Field. It was like a continent, and people from the Three Realms and Nine Worlds gathered here for a long time. That was why this place was so prosperous.
The Nine Star Chaos City could be said to be the only place in the Three Realms and Nine Realms that gathered all the forces in the Three Realms and Nine Realms. It could be said to be a small Three Realms and Nine Realms. Martial artists from the Three Great Emperor Domains and the Nine Great Cosmos gradually gathered here. There were many conflicts and conflicts between the forces here. The Three Realms and Nine Realms were all eyeing the Nine Star Chaos City covetously.
However, for hundreds of thousands of years, no one had the strength to rule this place.
The chaos in Nine Star Chaos City continued until today.
Perhaps, this chaotic situation would undergo a huge change because of the arrival of a youth.
Of course, it was still too early to say this. Long Chen had just left True Martial Emperor Palace.
After Ye Xiwen left the True Martial Emperor Palace, in a dark secret room on the Imperial Star, two experts gathered together. One of them was a handsome middle-aged man with a bewitching beauty, similar to the experts of the Supreme Yin Devil World. He was the Mysterious Nether Temple Master. The other one didn't look very good, but there was a kind of ruthlessness in his eyes. One look and anyone would know that he was a crazy person. This was the Mad Demon Temple Master.
The two hall masters met here.
"My people heard that Long Chen left True Martial Emperor Palace alone," the Mysterious Nether Hall Master said after he arrived.
"So what? He is a big shot of the Martial God Palace," the Crazy Demon Hall Master said coldly.
"Stop pretending. Li Cang and Li Dong died at the hands of Long Chen. Don't you want to take revenge on your two adopted sons? As for the Martial God Palace, do you think a corpse can enter the Martial God Palace?" the Mysterious Nether Hall Master said.
"What about you?"
The Crazy Demon Hall Master smiled. "I know that your disciple is crippled today. Lu Jin and Li Chong are the culprits. Long Chen doesn't even know what the Dream Returning Immortal Grass is."
The Mysterious Nether Hall Master said, "I can't swallow this. No matter what, he was the one who put the Dream Returning Immortal Grass in Ji Liuzhen's body."
"Then why don't you go look for Lu Chunqiu? He should hate Long Chen more," the Crazy Demon Hall Master said cautiously.
"Lu Chunqiu can't. He has a grudge with Long Chen. He will definitely be targeted. So, I came to look for you. Let's do it together."
"Together." The Crazy Demon Hall Master hesitated.
If they worked together, he wouldn't have to worry about the Mysterious Nether Hall Master using him.
Suddenly, he laughed and said, "This Long Chen is too arrogant. He has offended so many people. He offended half of the five palaces, but he still dares to leave True Martial Emperor Palace alone. Very well, I will go and try."
