In the past, Long Chen basically relied on himself for everything. Even if it was a high level demonic beast, he had to rely on himself to kill it and then use Blood Refining to Qi. But now, with the protection of the Sky Demon Palace Master, the top master of Cangyang Country, everything was different.
With the help of the Sky Demon Palace Master, Long Chen could imagine that the time for his revenge was not far away.
"Although I don't know why you want the corpse of the demonic beast, I am afraid that the strongest demonic beast within three hundred miles of Mount Demon Emperor is the Single-horned Rhinoceros King." Zhao Qingyun said as he hurried along with Long Chen.
"So miserable."
Long Chen was still immersed in the joy of having the help of his Master to kill the demonic beast. He did not expect this to be the result. It seemed that his dream of relying on Blood Refining to Qi to quickly grow was probably going to be ruined.
However, frequent use of Blood Refining to Qi was not the way to go. Long Chen knew this, so even if there were no demonic beasts, he was not discouraged.
"However, in Mount Demon Emperor, there is a passageway that leads to the Fire Evolution Earth Vein. In the Fire Evolution Earth Vein, there are many Fire Flame Beasts. However, the passageway of the Fire Evolution Earth Vein has been closed and I can't open it for you alone … It seems that there will be a trial in the Fire Evolution Earth Vein in the near future. At that time, if you can make it to the top ten among all the disciples, you should be able to participate in the trial."
"Fire Evolution Earth Vein, Fire Flame Beast."
Long Chen secretly remembered these names. He had already thought that if Xiao Lang could wake up, the Fire Evolution Earth Vein would be his paradise.
"This demonic wolf is as special as you. I, Zhao Qingyun, have seen a lot of things, but I have never seen this demonic beast. Is this a mutation of the Moon Devouring Demonic Wolf? The Moon Devouring Demonic Wolf has a silver crescent moon on its forehead and this demonic beast has a golden sun. It is really amazing. But he should be injured, how are you going to fix it?" Zhao Qingyun saw that Long Chen was looking at Xiao Lang with some sadness, so she said.
"Master, do you have any treasures of the fire attribute?" Long Chen raised his head and asked directly.
Since there was a Master to kill, he would be an idiot not to.
"A fire-attributed treasure, let me think …" It could be seen that Zhao Qingyun really liked Long Chen, his new disciple. Long Chen had already made two requests in succession, but Zhao Qingyun didn't even frown.
Zhao Qingyun thought for a while and said, "I have some Fire Essence, but they are not with me. I will give them to you when we get back to the Demon Palace."
"You have Fire Essence too. I was chased because I killed the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince's sword has nine Fire Essence," Long Chen said with some surprise.
"The Refined Fire Essence was originally produced from the Elemental Fire Vein of our Heaven Demon Palace, and the Sword Emperor should have taken it from the hands of a disciple of our Heaven Demon Palace. Although the imperial family and the Heaven Demon Palace did not have a large-scale battle, there are quite a lot of fights in the dark. It seems like not long ago, our Heaven Demon Palace had an elder in the seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier die outside the Imperial City. He died because he tried to kill the Ninth Prince, and you killed the Ninth Prince, which can be considered as revenge for him," Zhao Qingyun said with some regret.
As the Palace Lord of the Demon Palace, he obviously didn't want any of his disciples to die, especially at the hands of the royal family.
"You killed the six commanders of the Imperial City Guards, and even exterminated the entire Wu Tribe. Brat, you have some guts. To be honest, I wanted to exterminate the Wu Tribe for a long time, but the royal family always protected them, so I didn't have the chance to do so." Zhao Qingyun's face was also full of hatred when he spoke of the Wu Tribe.
"Those were just appetizers," Long Chen said calmly.
From this sentence, Zhao Qingyun could hear Long Chen's determination.
"Brat, you have great ambitions. If you can kill the royal family, the Demon Emperor Sword will be yours from now on. It doesn't matter even if you take it away," Zhao Qingyun said with a smile.
Zhao Qingyun smiled. If Long Chen could reach that level, with his talent, he would naturally not choose to stay in the Cangyang Kingdom.
However, that wouldn't be easy.
"Then I will accept the Demon Emperor Sword," Long Chen said with some arrogance.
Under the strong self-confidence, there was only a surging heart.
"I'll wait and see."
By the time Zhao Qingyun finished speaking, the two of them had almost reached their destination. In front of them was a vast plain, overgrown with many wild weeds and muddy rivers spread throughout the wilderness.
The ground rumbled and shook. This entire wilderness was filled with many wild beasts and even demonic beasts. Among them, in the deepest part of the wilderness, there was an extremely violent aura. It should be the Seventh Earth Stage One-horned Rhinoceros King.
Under Zhao Qingyun's lead, Long Chen passed through the wilderness and saw the appearance of the One-horned Rhinoceros King. The body of the One-horned Rhinoceros King was huge, even bigger than the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast. Its skin was gray, and its muscles were intertwined together. It looked like a rock, but Long Chen knew that the skin of the One-horned Rhinoceros King was definitely harder than steel.
And the most prominent part was the sharp, four-meter-long horn on the head of the One-horned Rhinoceros King. This horn was sharp and ferocious, definitely a natural weapon.
However, to Zhao Qingyun, all of this was like a fleeting cloud. A dignified Seventh Grade Earth Rank Demon Beast's internal organs were directly shattered by a light palm strike from him. The huge Rhinoceros King howled miserably and directly fell to the ground, smashing into the dust that filled the sky, and then lost all signs of life.
Zhao Qingyun turned around and said to Long Chen with some pride, "With my strength, I am qualified to be your master, right?"
"Of course."
How could Long Chen not say good things about obtaining such a huge treasure for no reason? However, he really admired Zhao Qingyun. After all, even a martial artist at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier would not be able to kill the Seventh Earth Stage One-horned Rhinoceros King so easily.
Without a doubt, Zhao Qingyun was above the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier.
Long Chen vaguely knew that the realm above the Heavenly River Tier was called the Connecting Heaven Tier. The meaning of Connecting Heaven was easy to understand, it was a realm that led to the heavens. It was definitely not something a martial artist at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier could compare with.
In the path of cultivation, the Dragon Vein Tier, Divine Core, Heavenly River, and Connecting Heaven Tier were known as the four fundamental realms of cultivation. These four realms were the foundation, and above the four fundamental realms, there were even more realms. Most of the strong warriors from Lingxi's hometown were in that realm. As for their realms, not many people in the Cangyang Kingdom knew about them. Of course, Long Chen did not know about them.
The four fundamental realms, whether it was combat skills, godly weapons, elixirs, or demonic beasts, all of them corresponded to the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Just like the cultivation of martial arts, combat skills, godly weapons, elixirs, and demonic beasts also had more realms, but they did not exist in the Cangyang Kingdom.
These were all stories to be told later.
Long Chen used the biggest Cosmos Sack he had to store the Unicorn Rhino King's carcass.
"I've accepted the gift. Long Chen, if there's nothing else, let's go back to the Heavenly Demon Palace now. I'm going to gather some of the high ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Palace and announce that I've accepted my ninth direct disciple, which is you. At that time, I'll need you to kneel down in front of me to become my disciple. Are you willing?" Zhao Qingyun said with a serious expression.
"If you really treat me like your disciple and treat me well, I'll kneel down in front of you. Besides, since you've given me this Unicorn Rhino King, I should give you something in return, don't you think so?"
Long Chen did not mind it at all. Normally, when someone wanted to become a disciple, they had to kneel down. Without enough respect and etiquette, why would the master teach you anything?
"Then let's go now. But let me remind you that your current cultivation level is only at the fourth level of the Heavenly River Tier. If someone provokes you, you can ignore it and endure it for a while. When you have enough strength, those noisy clowns will naturally shut their mouths," Zhao Qingyun instructed.
"A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I won't choose the time when I'm at my weakest to be bullied by others."
Long Chen said calmly. However, Zhao Qingyun's words made him understand that his days in the Heavenly Demon Palace would probably not be easy.
"Little Xi, Xiao Lang, just watch as I advance by leaps and bounds in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Three months later, I'll be wielding the Demon Emperor Sword and killing my way back to Bi Yang Imperial City."
With this thought in mind, Long Chen followed Zhao Qingyun and stepped onto the path to the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Mount Emperor Demon was extremely tall, and its peak had already pierced through the clouds high up in the sky. The Heavenly Demon Palace was built on a huge platform halfway up Mount Emperor Demon. This platform was completely smooth, and it looked as if it had been directly carved out with a sword.
"Are you very surprised?" Zhao Qingyun looked as if she had expected it.
"Indeed."
After Long Chen reached this platform, he touched the ground. Although there were many marks, it was easy to tell that this ground was definitely made by someone.
"This is the platform that the founder of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Tian Mozi, used the Demon Emperor Sword to directly carve out. The current me does not have this ability. In the Heavenly Demon Palace, it seems that each generation is getting weaker and weaker," Zhao Qingyun said with some emotion.
To be able to carve out such a shape with a sword, the legendary Tian Mozi must be much more terrifying than Zhao Qingyun. Even among the Reaching Heaven State, he must be a relatively powerful existence.
Feeling emotional about this magnificent feat of Tian Mozi, Long Chen then raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Demon Palace in front of him. Although the Heavenly Demon Palace had the word "demon" in it, the buildings of the Heavenly Demon Palace were like a paradise on earth among the mountains. Long Chen could not associate the Heavenly Demon Palace in front of him with a group of ruthless and insane people.
"A little surprised, isn't it?" Zhao Qingyun had already expected this.
"What is a demon? In my opinion, demons are not bloodthirsty, demons are not violent, demons are not restrained by the secular world, demons are free, and they cultivate against the natural order. This is the original intention of the Heavenly Demon Palace. If we are talking about bloodthirsty, the royal family is the demon."
Zhao Qingyun's words made Long Chen a little shocked.
In this case, Long Chen was also a demon, and a demon among demons.
"Alright, I'll gather everyone now. You have to get ready."
