After Yan Honghai left, Long Chen went around the Fragmentary Star, which was only about 200 meters in diameter, under the pressure of the gravity. He found that there was nothing but yellow soil.
"This really is a place where even birds don't shit."
Following that, Long Chen began to truly calm down and cultivate in silence.
This was something he had to do every night.
Only by circulating and controlling his True Qi could he absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, strengthen himself, and increase his control over his True Qi.
"The difficulty of circulating True Qi has increased by five times. However, this is not my limit."
Under Long Chen's will, the light red True Qi crazily rushed out from the Earth Core, flowing through the nine Dragon Veins and other small veins. Compared to before, this speed was much faster, and Long Chen had to spend more effort.
During this process, his True Qi became purer and purer. Because of the heaven-defying quality of his Blood Refining Qi, Long Chen's unstable foundation was not obvious. However, with the tempering in the Fragmentary Star Field, his True Qi would become even purer.
He believed that when he finished tempering all his True Qi, there would be unexpected miraculous effects.
Thus, Long Chen's days finally stabilized. During his time in the Fragmentary Star Field, the first thing he did was to temper his True Qi. After a period of bitter cultivation, his Earth Core True Qi had become purer, and he could even release a stronger force.
At the same time, Long Chen was also cultivating the True Dragon's Nine Flash. Although they were both high-level Profound Rank combat skills, the True Dragon's Nine Flash was more complicated than the Demon Spirit Sword Finger. However, with the help of the Fragmentary Star Gravity, Long Chen's progress in this area was tremendous. Soon, he surpassed the target that Dongfang Xuanxiao had set for him and reached the fifth flash.
Ten or so days later, Long Chen was on a broken star with 20x gravity and a diameter of around 500 meters. He was using the True Dragon Nine Flashes. Because of the immense pressure, it was very difficult for him to use it. His footsteps and body movements all looked very slow, as if he were a child playing.
However, if he removed the gravity, Long Chen's True Dragon Nine Flashes would be dozens of times faster.
"Flash, flash, flash."
Although his movements were slow, his silhouette still gave off a slightly unpredictable feeling.
"Twinkle."
After completing five transformations in a row, Long Chen was a little tired. Today's cultivation mission had lasted for an entire day, so he had no choice but to stop and rest.
The mysterious dragon jade was increasing his comprehension ability. Long Chen's understanding of the True Dragon Nine Flashes had already reached an extremely deep level. What he needed now was to put it into practice under immense pressure.
Since his theoretical foundation was very solid, he would not take any detours.
During the process of cultivating the True Dragon Nine Flashes, because he directed his Qi to his legs, he was able to refine his Qi.
"My strength is improving at a steady pace, very good. However, the fifteen days that Xuan Xiao gave me is almost too much. Fine, I'll finish cultivating for the last two days and leave this place."
After resting for a while, Long Chen resumed his cultivation mission.
After a while, Long Chen felt some movement outside. He opened his eyes, and it turned out that someone else had come to this broken star with 20x gravity from the iron chains.
It was a young man with tanned skin and a muscular body. He was wearing a piece of beast skin, and he had an innocent smile on his face.
When he saw Long Chen from afar, he immediately walked toward Long Chen. He stared at Long Chen with a passionate gaze and said, "Not bad, you're able to cultivate under 20x gravity. My name is Nangong Cheng, can we be friends?"
When he got closer, Long Chen could see that although he looked muscular and muscular, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old. As for his strength, he should be at the Initial Success Stage of the Earth Core realm.
With this level of strength, he should be one of the best among the inner Lingwu family.
The young man's face was bronze in color, but his teeth were white as snow. He was looking at Long Chen with a smile on his face. He was obviously a happy idiot.
This kind of person was not scheming, and was the perfect candidate to be friends with. Long Chen knew the importance of networking, so he stood up.
"My name is Long Chen."
"Ah, you must be from an outsider family, right?"
After knowing about Long Chen's background, he did not show any arrogance, but a curious expression, "To be able to stand out from tens of thousands of people, you're really something. No wonder you're able to cultivate under 20x gravity without any pressure. Which family are you from now?"
"Dongfang family." The young man in front of him seemed to be quite talkative, and Long Chen felt that he was quite interesting.
"Oh, I'm Nangong Cheng, I'm from the Nangong family, Nangong Zhuque." Nangong Cheng touched the back of his head and let out a smile, revealing his white teeth.
"Nangong, I do know Feng Wutian who just joined your family." Long Chen started to talk.
"Feng Wutian, let's not talk about him. He's just an unimportant guy, and he's only at the Initial Success Stage of the Earth Core realm. When I first joined the inner family, I already challenged him. Oh right, Long Chen, since you're able to join the inner family, I'm sure you're quite strong. Why don't we have a friendly match? Don't overthink it, my hands are just itchy, and I'll challenge anyone I meet. My brothers and sisters have given me a title, 'Martial Maniac'."
Speaking of this title, Nangong Cheng wore a satisfied look on his face, as if he was extremely proud of himself.
"This idiot, a Martial Maniac."
Long Chen cursed in his heart. The truth was, his way of challenging someone as soon as they met was extremely impolite and idiotic. However, since this guy was indeed a bit crazy, Long Chen did not dislike him. On the contrary, Long Chen agreed with his straightforwardness.
"How about it, do you accept?" Nangong Cheng looked at him with a look of anticipation.
"I do accept, but I have a condition." Long Chen let out a smile and said.
"Condition, just tell me, I'll give you whatever I can."
Nangong Cheng instantly became excited after seeing a glimpse of hope, like a calf that could not stay still.
"It's not too troublesome, you just have to answer a few of my questions. Don't worry, my questions won't involve any secrets, and it won't involve your privacy either."
"Questions."
Nangong Cheng was startled, "Feel free to ask, there's not much I know, and I don't have any privacy either."
Long Chen was left speechless by this idiot. That being said, he could use him to find out more about the Star Demon Prison.
"Are you familiar with the Star Demon Prison? Have you been to the Supergiant Region?" Long Chen asked.
"The Supergiant Region, I've never been there. It's a place where important criminals are locked up. Normally, only the leaders of the four clans are allowed to enter. We are not allowed to enter. My dad said that if we were to go any closer, we would be sucked in by the gravity of the Supergiant. Without the help of the leaders, we would never be able to leave."
Long Chen shuddered, before he asked with a calm gaze, "Why are the leaders allowed to enter the Supergiant Region? Because they are very powerful."
"I don't think so. I heard that it's because they have five godly weapons, which can eliminate the gravity of the Supergiant Region. However, the five godly weapons can only enter their respective Supergiant Planets."
"In other words, with the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd, one can enter the Blue Dragon Planet."
After hearing this, Long Chen was extremely surprised, as it meant that he still had a chance, as Xuan Xiao had arranged for him to take part in the contest for the Blue Dragon Battle Halberd.
"That should be the case, hehe."
Although he had no idea why Long Chen was asking these questions, Nangong Cheng let out a chuckle and did not overthink it. All he cared about now was whether his questions could satisfy Long Chen.
After receiving this important information, Long Chen had learned a lot. He was initially planning to ask where Mo Xiaolang was imprisoned on the Blue Dragon Planet, but on second thought, this idiot before him would surely have no idea. Therefore, he immediately said, "Alright, I'm done. However, Nangong Cheng, you can't tell anyone about the questions I'm going to ask you, how's that?"
"Of course, I, Nangong Cheng, am a real man, how could I simply say such things."
Nangong Cheng patted his chest and said, before glancing at Long Chen cautiously, "Err, can we start now?"
"Right here."
Long Chen was startled, but on second thought, under twenty times the gravity, it would be the real thrill.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
Nangong Cheng took a few steps back and clenched his fists, staring at Long Chen with a strong battle intent.
"This kid …" Long Chen was speechless toward him. However, Nangong Cheng's ability to maintain his battle intent at all times did make him worthy of the title 'Martial Maniac'.
"This kid's experience in real battles must be countless times more than Dongfang Tianya's, not to mention that he's familiar with the gravity. I can't afford to be careless and lose to him." Long Chen thought to himself.
"Let's do it." Long Chen said calmly.
"Take this."
Without hesitation, Nangong Cheng's face turned fiery as he lashed out a punch toward Long Chen. At that instant, a scorching heat wave swept toward Long Chen's face, which then formed a few seals of fists, trapping every part of Long Chen's body.
"Vermilion Bird Art, Heavenly Flame Fist."
Under twenty times the gravity, Nangong Cheng's speed was greatly reduced, but it did not affect his execution of his skills.
"His strength is much stronger than Dongfang Tianya's."
Long Chen was shocked in his heart. Following this, his gaze turned dull, and under Nangong Cheng's astonished gaze, he increased his speed.
Nine Flashes of the True Dragon.
Nangong Cheng was shocked that Long Chen's speed could still reach such a level under such circumstances. However, it did not affect his determination to defeat Long Chen, as he continued to throw out punches.
However, right at that moment, Long Chen's figure changed as he charged towards him.
"He's gone, over here."
Nangong Cheng was able to locate Long Chen's first transformation in no time.
It was extremely exciting for him.
However, he was dumbfounded after that; after Long Chen's transformation, he did not stop there; he continued to transform, causing Nangong Cheng to lose track of him.
"I'm here."
