If Long Chen could really accomplish it, one million Supreme Elixirs and the crystal would be nothing. King Qingli thought for a while. Since Long Chen could improve from the first hurdle of the Reaching Heaven Realm to his current level in such a short time, he had enough authority to say that he could succeed. So King Qingli nodded and said, "Okay, one million Supreme Elixirs and the crystal, I can give them to you tonight. I hope you can keep your promise and fulfill your promise."
"You're a man. Once you say it, you can't go back on your words," Long Chen said.
King Qingli looked at him approvingly and said, "You're brave. But what do you want the crystal for? The power in the crystal contains the mark of an ancient expert. If you absorb too much of it, it won't do you any good."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Just give it to me."
King Qingli asked Long Chen to wait here for a while and then left immediately. Long Chen waited there. In less than a quarter of an hour, King Qingli gave him a Qiankun Bag and said, "One million Supreme Elixirs and the crystal are in here. You can go back now. I've temporarily suppressed the news of Zhao Wuji's death, but I guess the Red Ghost King will soon know the news and come to make trouble for you. Of course, I'll protect you, but you have to be smart at that time."
Long Chen understood that the Red Ghost King valued Zhao Wuji so much that he even gave the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman to Zhao Wuji. If the Red Ghost King knew that Zhao Wuji had died here, he would definitely come to make trouble for him. At that time, Long Chen needed powerful strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand any challenge.
Of course, the crystal in his hand and the one million Supreme Elixirs were the guarantee for him to become stronger. Long Chen couldn't wait to go back. Kitten could remove the mark in the crystal. With the crystal and the Supreme Elixirs, Long Chen could at least reach his goal, the seventh hurdle of the Reaching Heaven Realm.
Only when he reached the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven State would he be able to fight against a martial artist of the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven State.
Therefore, Long Chen could not wait to go back.
Of course, before he left, there was one more thing he had to do, and that was to return the money. Previously, he had borrowed money from Huangfu Qi just in case. Now that he had more than a million Heaven Connecting Pills, Long Chen no longer needed Huangfu Qi's 50,000 Heaven Connecting Pills. No matter what, it didn't seem right to borrow money from a little girl.
Before leaving, Long Chen asked, "I want to see Huangfu Qi. Where does she live?" Huangfu Qi had just returned in the evening.
"Are you talking about Qi Qi? Just two hours ago, she was already picked up by her father."
Queen Qingli said helplessly. For her, the longer Huangfu Qi stayed here, the deeper his feelings for her would be. However, it was impossible for her to establish a relationship with the big shot of the Huangfu Family after staying here for a few days.
"She's gone."
Long Chen was shocked. Huangfu Qi had just left his place, and then her father came. Poor Long Chen still believed that she had been kidnapped by Zhao Wuji.
It seemed that her father should be very angry. Otherwise, with Huangfu Qi's character, she would definitely say goodbye to Long Chen, and so many things would not have happened tonight.
"It's over. I promised that girl that even if she leaves, I will still send her 50,000 Supreme Heaven Pills. Isn't this the same as smashing my own foot with a rock?" Long Chen felt depressed in his heart.
"Qi Qi's father is as powerful as the Demon Emperor," Queen Qingli said with emotion at this time.
Long Chen had also guessed this. For Long Chen, the most important thing was to become stronger. So he said goodbye to Queen Qingli and returned to his residence. As soon as he came back, he said to Kitten, "Fat Cat, I remember you once said that the power of this crystal could help me reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, right?"
"Of course. What I said is certainly correct," Kitten said proudly.
Little Cat said proudly. He stretched out a hand and stroked his round belly. He was already used to Long Chen calling him Fat Cat.
"Well, I won't talk nonsense. Let's get started. This time, I want to reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm." The seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm was the most important task for Long Chen before the annual assessment.
"Wait, you asked me to help, so I will help you." Kitten pretended to be unwilling.
"Don't waste time, or I will ask Xiao Lang to burn your little brother."
Long Chen cursed and took out the crystal. He knew that the kitten was actually afraid of the Nine Underworlds Demon Ancestral Flame. The Nine Underworlds Demon Ancestral Flame could easily injure the kitten.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Kitten was so scared that he lifted his buttocks and withdrew something. Because he thought of Zhao Wuji's miserable situation at the beginning today. Zhao Wuji had changed from a man to a woman. That was quite a nasty method.
"Forget it. Since you are young and ignorant and quite pitiful, I will reluctantly help you this time."
After saying that, Kitten shook his head and helped Long Chen take out the power of the mark in the crystal. Then he gave the pure power to Long Chen to absorb.
The crystal contained the power of an expert's whole life. Of course, most of the power that could be preserved had been lost. It was estimated that the power left in the crystal was less than one-thousandth of that expert's power at the peak. But even so, it was enough for Long Chen to reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm.
Two levels in a row.
With the help of the kitten, it was able to completely control the output of the crystal's power through some unknown means. Long Chen's cultivation was steadily improving under its control. It was similar to the last time he absorbed the crystal's power, but this time, the amount of power he absorbed was much greater.
A huge amount of power flowed into Long Chen's body and was absorbed and refined by Long Chen. In the end, it became a part of Long Chen's strength.
Kitten controlled the power in an orderly way. Long Chen absorbed it safely. His body was strong enough, so there was no danger of him exploding. Long Chen soon reached the edge of the fifth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. At this time, Kitten stopped transferring power to Long Chen, because it knew that Long Chen was going to break through to the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm.
There were six spiritual apertures in the Reaching Heaven Realm. Long Chen had broken through five spiritual apertures. He had expanded five power cores in his body. Now, he only had one spiritual aperture left. Only when he reached the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm would the spiritual apertures in his body reach perfection.
The six power cores in his body formed a perfect cycle.
With the experience from the previous five times, Long Chen reached the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm easily. Even he was surprised by the speed at which his strength soared. Ever since he had absorbed one percent of the inherited blood essence, his body was like a bottomless pit, and he needed a huge amount of power to fill it up.
Therefore, he didn't feel any discomfort when he used Refining Blood to Qi or directly absorbed the power in the crystal like he was doing now. Moreover, Long Chen had a hunch that he could even complete the entire Reaching Heaven Realm in the same way. This was the nature-defying effect brought about by the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Bloodline Spiritual Dragon.
The current level of the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm was still far from enough.
"Go on, you freak with the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence. If other people were to absorb the power like you, their bodies would have exploded countless times. Only you can persist for so long." The Kitten sighed with emotion.
It continued to pour out the power of the crystal for Long Chen to absorb. Long Chen didn't say a word, and his strength advanced steadily toward the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. Based on the current situation, Long Chen would definitely be able to reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm by today.
However, when he was at the sixth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, Long Chen had already used about one hundred and ten thousand Reaching Heaven Elixirs. He had a hunch that he would need at least three hundred thousand Reaching Heaven Realm to reach the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. In other words, the one million Reaching Heaven Realm that he had just obtained wasn't enough for him to reach the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm.
If it were other people, they would need one million Reaching Heaven Elixirs to open the last aperture. However, Long Chen would need one million Reaching Heaven Realm to reach the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. The tenfold nature of the Dragon Soul Genuine Qi also made it ten times more difficult for him to advance. During the practice of the Reaching Heaven Realm, if Long Chen didn't have enough Reaching Heaven Realm, it would be impossible for him to succeed.
It could be seen from this that he had made the right decision to come to the Ancient Demons Field. If he had been outside, where could Long Chen have gotten so many Reaching Heaven Realm Pills? He estimated that if he hadn't come to the Ancient Demons Field, his strength would only be at the third or fourth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. Without the Reaching Heaven Elixirs, even if he had the Blood Refining Qi, he would still be dead meat.
As expected, when he had enough Genuine Qi, Long Chen used three hundred and fifty thousand Reaching Heaven Realm Pills to stabilize his Genuine Qi. Then, he tried to break through the third last aperture of the nine apertures.
Out of the one million and one hundred thousand Reaching Heaven Realm Pills, only eight hundred and fifty thousand were left. It wasn't enough for Long Chen to reach the eighth level of the Reaching Heaven Realm. Long Chen knew that he probably wouldn't be able to advance any further before the annual assessment. After all, the further he practiced, the more difficult it would be for him to advance. Moreover, more things would be needed in the later stages, and Long Chen didn't have enough resources.
When he had been at the first level of the Reaching Heaven Realm, he had been able to defeat demonic beasts at the fourth level of the Heaven Realm by relying on his super strong Battle Body of the High Heaven Realm. But now, some demonic beasts at the ninth level of the Heaven Realm had stronger bodies than Long Chen. His advantage had already disappeared. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for him to advance further.
Unless Long Chen got the Emperor Flame Pearl.
It was the thing that could help him reach the top in a single bound.
Reaching the seventh level of the Reaching Heaven Realm was the guarantee of the Emperor Flame Pearl. Long Chen didn't dare to be careless. He controlled his Genuine Qi and carefully directed all of it to his head.
Yes, the two Earth Apertures were the Earth Yang Aperture and the Earth Yin Aperture. They were located in the head, and they were located in the left and right side of the brain respectively. The opening of the two Earth Apertures was much more difficult than the opening of the six Spiritual Apertures, and it required a lot of energy. A small mistake could cost Long Chen his life.
