From the top floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion, Long Chen obtained the first Heaven Tier Battle Skill in his life, the Traceless Specter. After putting the unknown material into his Cosmos Pouch, Long Chen felt a bit more at ease.
This was his mission for the next twenty days. Long Chen had already boasted about it, so in the next twenty days, he had to learn the Traceless Specter. In the Demonic Palace, there were a total of three great secret books. Long Chen's current goal was to obtain these three great secret books while increasing his cultivation level.
Right now, he had already completed the first step. Of course, it was not complete yet. Only when he had completely mastered the Traceless Specter would it be considered complete. Otherwise, after twenty days, the secret book of the Traceless Specter would be handed over to Yang Jun. At that time, Long Chen would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone.
"You should familiarize yourself with it for a while. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me." Zhao Qingyun said.
Long Chen nodded. He knew that if it was in terms of theory, he would definitely understand it. The mysterious dragon jade had given him a strong understanding ability. Of course, in terms of application, he was slightly lacking. That was why he needed twenty days to practice.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Qingyun, Long Chen returned to his usual place of cultivation. This was the peak of the Demonic Mountain. At the peak of the Demonic Mountain, Long Chen sat on the bluestone that he usually sat on and began to practice the Traceless Specter.
"Traceless Specter, Traceless Specter. A Heaven Tier Battle Skill is indeed extraordinary …"
Long Chen flipped through the book once and felt that it was exquisite and powerful. Ordinary Battle Skills could not be compared to it at all. The most complicated Battle Skill that Long Chen had practiced so far was the High Earth Tier Divine Fire Clone. However, the Traceless Specter was ten times more obscure than the Divine Fire Clone.
With his extraordinary comprehension ability, Long Chen was able to easily read and understand the secret book. Next, he began to practice.
By Long Chen's side, Lingxi watched along with him. She had quite a bit of understanding towards Heaven Tier Battle Skills, so her understanding would be of great help to Long Chen.
It was easy to understand, but it wasn't easy to practice. Especially in the process of practice, there were many difficulties. Every step technique had many variations, and they were linked to each other. Finally, one could complete the Traceless Specter. To be able to use the complete Traceless Specter and reach the level of being traceless was actually not easy.
However, as long as one reached the Great Accomplishment Realm, he could be like the three Demon Elders, instantly turning himself into thousands of people, making it hard for others to recognize him. Basically, it would be difficult for warriors of the same level to detect the movement of the warrior after using Traceless Phantom.
"This Traceless Specter really isn't easy. It's easy to lose control of your speed. Little Xi, what do you think I'm lacking?"
Long Chen stopped practicing. It was already the fifth day since he started practicing the Traceless Specter. However, he knew that he hadn't made much progress. At the very least, he hadn't grasped the true essence of the Traceless Specter.
"I always feel that I'm lacking something." Lingxi tilted her head and thought.
As for what it was, she couldn't tell.
"I'll practice for a while more, then I'll go down to see my adoptive father and the others, and then I'll go and see Wang Xing. I promised to give him something last time, so it's time to give it to him."
Time passed by slowly. Long Chen practiced for a while more, then he packed up and left Mount Emperor Demon with Xiao Lang and Lingxi. The Sky Devil Palace was on the mountainside of Mount Emperor Demon. It took Long Chen fifteen minutes to arrive at Xuan Xiao's place. After staying with them for a while, Long Chen returned to the Green Cloud Residence.
At this moment, the other pro-disciples were gathered in the Green Cloud Residence. When they saw Long Chen, they all took a few steps back. No one dared to approach him. They already knew that this Long Chen was probably the Long Chen that was rumored outside. That Long Chen had killed too many people, so they were instinctively afraid of him.
However, Long Chen had boasted in front of the Martial Scripture Pavilion recently, which made them feel that Long Chen was really overestimating himself. They knew that Long Chen was powerful, but with his current strength, he shouldn't be that powerful.
Long Chen was too lazy to care about these strange gazes. To him, these people weren't even considered as passersby, so there was no need to be bothered by their gazes. He returned to his residence, and at this moment, the little boy Wang Xing was cleaning for him.
"Wang Xing." Long Chen called softly.
"Brother Chen, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Although he said he was cleaning for Long Chen, he was actually waiting for Long Chen. When he saw Long Chen coming out, he was really happy. He immediately ran up to Long Chen and looked at Long Chen with anticipation.
Wang Xing's current strength was around the Heavenly Core realm, but his strongest combat skill was only a Mid Mystic combat skill. Long Chen had copied down the secret of the Devil Spirited Sword Finger and passed it to Wang Xing. He even gave him some Divine Jade and Sky River Pills from his Cosmos Sack, as well as the huge amount of healing pills that he had robbed from others.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Wang Xing was so excited that he almost kneeled down in front of Long Chen. Luckily, Long Chen pulled him back, so he didn't kneel down.
"Just focus on your cultivation. Let's take a look now. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I'll be heading to the peak of Mount Devil Emperor soon." Long Chen sat down on a stone chair and said.
This young man's eyes were filled with passion and admiration. Besides, he still had the fighting spirit. Therefore, Long Chen didn't mind giving him a hand. Maybe his life would change a little.
After fiddling with the Spirit Demon Sword Finger for a while, Wang Xing said to Long Chen with some apprehension, "Brother Chen, can you accompany me on a trip? I don't dare to go out for the next few days. I want to go to the Treasury Hall and buy something."
"Why don't you dare to go out?" Long Chen was startled and asked.
"I … Do you remember those people who bullied me last time? They are the disciples of the third devil elder, that's why they are so arrogant. I'm just a servant disciple, no matter my status or strength, I can't compete with them. That's why I don't dare to go out. But, Brother Chen, if you come with me, I will. You are much stronger than them."
"They bullied you?" Long Chen frowned.
"Yes."
Wang Xing nodded and said, "But that time, I escaped on my own, and they threatened to beat me up every time they see me in the future."
Wang Xing was still a little scared when he thought about it.
"What do you want to buy?" Long Chen wanted to see if there was anything in his Qiankun bag. If there was, he could give it to him directly.
"Red Heart Grass." Wang Xing said.
Long Chen didn't have it. It should be a Profound-class item. Although he had collected many Profound-class items, he didn't have everything. Moreover, Long Chen felt that as his level increased, these things were becoming more and more useless.
"Alright, I'll go with you." Long Chen nodded and stood up.
He knew that in every faction, the place where goods were exchanged was the most lively place. Long Chen was now an influential figure in the Heavenly Devil Palace. Wherever he went, he would inevitably be looked at like a monkey. However, he was not afraid, so he was naturally not afraid of these gazes.
"Thank you, Brother Chen. I'll lead the way."
Wang Xing was a little excited. He hurriedly packed up and invited Long Chen out. After that, he ran in front of Long Chen and led the way for Long Chen. Honestly speaking, Long Chen had never been to this Treasury Hall before.
In the Sky Devil Palace, the Devil Hall was an iconic building. The Martial Scripture Pavilion he saw earlier could also be considered an iconic building. This Treasury Hall was also one of them. From the outside, the Treasury Hall looked like a giant tortoise lying on the ground, occupying a lot of land.
Only when one got closer to the Treasury Hall could one feel the splendor of gold and jade. Although they hadn't gotten close yet, a dense medicinal fragrance gushed towards Long Chen. At the same time, there were also quite a few treasures. Most probably, in this Treasury Hall, everything a disciple needed would be there.
In the transactions here, the Sky River Pellets would be used. Only those items that were too low in value would be marked with divine jades.
Just when he was about to enter, Xiao Lang turned around and walked to a mountain rampart alone. He sat down and squinted his eyes, waiting for Long Chen. Right now, Xiao Lang basically didn't need to cultivate. He was waiting for Long Chen to learn the Traceless Specter and defeat Yang Jun. Only then would he have the opportunity to enter the Fire Evolution Earth Vein. At that time, Xiao Lang would truly soar. If the environment was good enough, his strength would instantly surpass Long Chen.
Xiao Lang didn't wish to enter this place with so many people. Long Chen didn't bother with him. He followed Wang Xing into the Treasury Hall. At this moment, there were already people who recognized him.
"Look, isn't this the ninth personal disciple of the Palace Lord, Long Chen?"
"I heard that he already obtained the Traceless Specter, and said that he would learn it within 20 days. Do you believe it?"
"Nonsense, you'd be a fool to believe me. I don't even believe that he's Long Chen. That legendary ruthless person not only killed the six commanders of the Imperial City's guards, but also the leader of the Wu Tribe, who was at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. Does he look like that kind of person to you?"
"Doesn't look like it. This kid looks just like a pretty boy."
Such discussions could be heard everywhere.
"These idiots. When I, Long Chen, beat you up, you'll know who's boss." Lingxi was a little angry when she saw Long Chen belittling them like this.
"Ignore them. When the time comes, they'll change their opinion of me. It's useless for me to explain too much now, so it's better to let nature take its course," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Really, after you became that old man's disciple, even your personality has slowly become closer to his. If it was you in the past, if someone said something that made you unhappy, you'd beat them up," Lingxi said with pursed lips.
"This can only mean that Big Brother has matured, and is filled with manly charm." Long Chen sniffed the medicinal fragrance, and headed in a certain direction.
