"Blue Flame Saint Venerable is here."
Long Chen sensed his approach and said to Zhu Xi, "The Builder God Race has people following us. Go back to the Phoenix Race first so we won't be suspected. If anything happens in the future, use the tree talisman to contact us. There's no need to come out."
"Then you have to promise to take me with you." Zhu Xi was afraid he was lying.
"Don't worry, if he won't take you with him, I will." Kitten patted his chest and said.
"I don't need you to take me with you." Zhu Xi rolled her eyes and ran away, leaving Kitten in the wind.
"What's so special about her?" Long Chen looked at Zhu Xi and then at Kitten.
Kitten pretended to be deep in thought and sighed, "I don't know. It's an ill-fated relationship. It feels like I've loved her before."
His flirtatious words made everyone burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? You mortals don't understand love."
Kitten snorted and went back to sleep. At this time, Blue Flame Saint Venerable quickly approached. The others also went back.
Swoosh.
Long Chen appeared in front of Blue Flame Saint Venerable.
This was a tall and sturdy man. His blue hair was like burning flames, and his deep blue eyes seemed to contain boiling lava. His skin was also slightly blue, and there was a faint flicker of fire. He was a Perfection Stage God King with extremely powerful attack power. He also had a very high reputation in the Construction Wood Tribe, and there were tens of thousands of versions of his legend, which were spread among the people.
"You're looking for me." Long Chen smiled at him.
"Ah."
Blue Flame Saint Venerable was shocked and took a few steps back. He immediately smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Saint Venerable Yang? I just happened to pass by. Why are you here? Did you come out to relax?"
Long Chen smiled, "Indeed, I left Cangtian Continent to see other worlds. So, I wandered around when I was free. I'm on my way back to Builder God Celestial Palace. Blue Flame Saint Venerable, do you want to come with me?"
Blue Flame Saint Venerable shook his head, "I still have something to do. Go back first. I'll visit another day and ask Saint Venerable Yang about cultivation."
"Let's learn from each other."
Long Chen arrived in front of him. As he brushed past him, he gently patted his shoulder and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. See you later."
Blue Flame Holy Senior was shocked. He thought that Long Chen was going to attack him, but it was just a casual touch. By the time he reacted, Long Chen had already left.
"He must have known that I've been following him. Yet, he managed to shake me off. He's toying with me. What is he doing here? Could he really be related to the Phoenix Clan?"
The Blue Flame Saint Venerable was still following Long Chen.
"I'm a dignified Saint Sovereign, and yet I'm doing something like stalking him. How preposterous! If it weren't for the Builder Tree Holy War, the Celestial Sovereigns would have slaughtered him long ago. Even if they didn't, I wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer."
Long Chen quickly returned to the Builder Tree God Celestial Palace.
"Did he stay?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes, no matter where he goes, I can get to his side in an instant." Lingxi nodded.
This was the effect of Stellar Transposition.
"Next, we'll just have to wait."
Long Chen was angry that Blue Flame Saint Venerable kept following him. He had been at the Builder Tree for so long and it was still silent. It was time to start the battle. But this time, he didn't attack. He let Lingxi, Mo Xiaolang, and Soyeon attack. His main goal was to help Mo Xiaolang break through to the God King Realm.
It was impossible for the five Celestial Venerables to let the Blue Flames Holy Venerables follow Long Chen all the time. The Blue Flames Holy Venerables would also complain, especially after Long Chen found out this time. The Celestial Venerables changed to another Holy Venerable to monitor Long Chen at all times. This time, it was more secretive, and the Blue Flames Holy Venerables were free.
Most of the time, he was active in the Builder Tree God Celestial Palace.
Occasionally, he would head out, but he was more careful. He wasn't far from the Builder Tree God Celestial Palace.
"This Blue Flame Saint Venerable isn't a good person. Maybe it's because of the Sky Swallowing Race's change. In their hearts, mortals aren't much. Deaths and injuries are just numbers."
He left Blue Flame Saint Venerable's position. Lingxi could more or less see his words and actions. For example, every time he headed out, he would find talented young men and women and bring them back to nurture. But his methods were very rough. He would directly wipe their memories and even kill their parents. Then, he would start to instill in them that he was the one who created them.
"When he's far away, I'll attack."
It didn't seem easy to wait for the Azure Flames' Holy Venerate to go far. Two months ago, the opportunity finally came. This time, the Azure Flames' Holy Venerate headed towards the bottom of the Builder Wood Holy Tree's trunk and arrived at the location of the roots. Finally, he followed the roots to a planet that had been pierced by the roots.
"Today is the day."
Long Chen was still in the Builder Tree God Celestial Palace. This way, he would have an alibi. And Lingxi's Big Dipper was very useful. Although the distance was very far, she had enough time to prepare. She could directly go from Long Chen's God Nation to where Blue Flame Saint Venerable was.
Even on the planet above the tree roots, there were quite a few living beings.
But to the living beings here, most of the sky was covered by the shadow of the Builder Tree.
The reason the Blue Flame Saint Venerable had come here was because this planet was his. There were tens of thousands of young men and women on this planet, and they had all been nurtured by him. The conditions here were slightly harsh, and resources were scarce. Such an environment was more suitable for nurturing ruthless experts. He also hoped that his future disciples would become deities.
This was a pitch-black planet. It was filled with cracks. Below the cracks was endless lava. The temperature was very high. There wasn't a single tree on the planet. Even if there was, it would quickly burn.
The planet wasn't big, but there were tens of thousands of young men and women eating raw meat and drinking blood.
Blue Flame Saint Venerable turned into a flame and appeared in the sky above the planet. The flame soared for a hundred thousand feet and condensed into Blue Flame Saint Venerable's appearance. He appeared in the vision of all the young men and women. The bright flame in the sky illuminated the entire planet. Seeing this flame, all the children hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"God." The children were incomparably respectful. They didn't dare to be negligent at all.
"Not bad. Many of you have made new progress."
The voice of the Blue Flame Saint reverberated throughout the entire planet, rousing the spirits of the youths. However, at this moment, his voice turned cold as he said, "But you're still far from my requirements. Continue killing. I'll give you a year's time. There are a total of 33,383 of you here. After a year, ten of you who are still alive will become my disciples. If more than ten people are still alive, then all of you will die. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes." Tens of thousands of people said with trembling voices.
They already knew their ending.
They remembered that when they first came, there were a total of 100,000 of them. Now, there were only 30,000 left.
During this year, they spent their time in endless killing. If they killed one more person, they would have a higher chance of surviving. There were a total of 100,000 people, but in the end, only ten would survive and become the Blue Flame Saint Venerable's disciples. Most of the time, they didn't want to become the Blue Flame Saint Venerable's disciples. They wanted to survive.
Pain, fear, and the 70,000 people who died died in despair. There was only one year left and there were only ten survivors.
They would definitely want to escape. But this planet was sealed. Whoever dared to escape would be turned to dust. It might even trigger the restrictions and cause the death of their parents who were still at home.
So, no one dared to escape.
They also didn't dare to hate the Blue Flame Saint Venerable. If they had any thoughts, they wouldn't be able to escape the Blue Flame Saint Venerable's senses. They would be killed. So, the most important thing for them to do was to hypnotize themselves and follow the Blue Flame Saint Venerable.
This pitch-black land was filled with the blood and tears of too many young women.
If this pitch-black planet turned blood-red in the future, it would definitely be dyed red by blood.
"Very well. In one year, I will descend again. I hope to see less than ten people left. If you want to live, then kill to your heart's content. There's not much time left. The winner can become a god and control the world. The loser will become a ghost." The Blue Flame Saint Venerable laughed.
The young men and women were all trembling.
The Blue Flame Saint Venerable was leaving.
The people on the planet didn't dare to look up. They only dared to look at the flickering blue flames imprinted on the ground in the sky.
Suddenly, a wisp of white light appeared in the blue flames.
"Who are you?"
The Blue Flame Saint Venerable's surprised voice came from the starry sky. Everyone looked up. They could vaguely see that a fairy-like woman had appeared in front of the Blue Flame Saint Venerable. She was so beautiful and holy …
Then, a black-haired, cold-looking young man and a cute girl with a snake tail appeared. The three of them surrounded the Blue Flame Saint Venerable.
"The person who will take your life," said the black-haired youth.
On the planet, the young men and women were extremely astonished. Someone actually dared to speak to a Skygod in such a manner. Could it be that they were also Skygods? They wanted to take away a Skygod's life.
Instantly, there was an uproar. Everyone forgot about the slaughter as they looked at everything in the sky.
"Kill me? Haha, two Fiends. One isn't even a Fiend Monarch, and the other is a Primordial realm Godly Monarch. You actually want to kill me? I don't care where you came from or who you are, but if you dare speak to me in such a manner, you are dead. This is the Skywood Holy Tree."
The Blue Flame Saint Venerable laughed maniacally.
Didn't they know the huge gap between them?
What answered him was the attack of Lingxi and company.
When Mo Xiaolang became a Sun-Devouring Fiend Wolf, and when Soyeon transformed into Fiend Wa, these two experts suddenly appeared in the starry sky. The children on the planet suddenly hoped that they could defeat the Blue Flame Saint Venerable. They had an extremely fervent desire.
And at this moment, Long Chen was chatting with Wan Qing when Blue Lightning happened to come again. He still acted as though he was very familiar with Long Chen. He said, "There's still two months before the Skywood Holy Battle. Are you ready?"
… …
He recommended a book, "Hegemon Sword, the Only".
